Historical Information
The red five-pointed star served as the principal national identification marking of Soviet military aircraft. It identified the aircraft's national allegiance separately from tactical numbers, unit badges, and individual emblems.
 
Plain red stars were used extensively on Soviet aircraft, including during the opening stages of the German invasion in 1941. The absence of an outline gives this version a different appearance from the contrasting bordered stars associated with later wartime schemes.
 
Soviet aircraft markings were applied under factory and operational conditions that could produce differences in size, border width, and positioning. Wartime repainting and changes to camouflage further affected their appearance.
 
The outline treatment is a defining feature when matching a particular aircraft. Compare the star on each relevant surface with dated photographs, since a familiar aircraft type could carry different versions during its service life.
