I know Allied pilots often used to mark a victory with a Balken cross or Japanese flag, but what was used for an Italian victory...Italian flag?
Thanks!

probably just another swastika unless they had someone who draw various symbols
1940-1943
1943
1943-1945
Good luck... but I would guess that the local armorers and maintenance men would have just simplified it to be just another axis kill and use the swastika.
Thank you, that is just what I was looking for. I was unsuccessful googling several combinations, but knew the answer would be here. I made pilot sheets for my boys and have victories marked on them. They are in a fictious Sqdn that is currently involved in the battle of France. I wanted to take them throughout the BoB, Malta and North Afrca too. After that, I think the Sqdn will be off the Burma. My youngest is very much into the pilot/campaign thing and doesn't wNt anything to happen to his soon to be Ace.
The tri-color roundel was used in World War II after Italy joined the Allies while Aviazione Nazionale Repubblicana Air Force (RSI Air Force) roundels were a tricolour flag as flank roundel and a couple of fasces as wing roundels (the third one in Al post).
I think Allied used only fasces roundels to mark a victory.

Side note: For some reason, Soviet pilots marked victories with Soviet stars.
