Historical Information

RAF and Commonwealth aircraft in India, Burma, and the wider CBI theater progressively altered their national insignia from 1942 onward. Early aircraft could retain standard or partly modified fin flashes, while later SEAC practice moved toward more subdued blue-based markings consistent with the red-free roundels used against Japan.

SEAC fin markings can be associated with aircraft such as the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, Republic Thunderbolt, de Havilland Mosquito, Bristol Beaufighter, Consolidated Liberator, Douglas Dakota, and Vultee Vengeance.

Because SEAC tail markings evolved during the war, period photographs are recommended when matching the fin flash to a specific roundel type and aircraft date.

Marking dimensions and placement could vary between aircraft types and service periods. Use a dated photograph of the intended airframe to choose the size and combine these insignia with the appropriate unit markings, aircraft numbers and fin markings.
