Thread: Follow that star driver

    Default Follow that star driver

    Hi fellow flyers, Can anyone tell me, what country has a white 6 pointed star on a red square background, its from the "Hit and run" booster pack (SPAD VII Podpraporshik M. I. Zembelevich 4-yj Korpusnoj Aviacionyj Otriad Imperatorskij Voenno-vozdusnyh Flot)?

    I'm going out on a limb, and say it is Russian, based on the language.

    It could be from either side of the Revolutionary War, though.

    [4-yj Korpusnoj Aviacionyj Otriad - 4th Corps Aviation Detachment]

    Color company officer designations given expectation - they could be red / white. Sources: photo

    Note: the model site is Russian, but the info is translated from that source. The photo isn't loading on my tablet, so not sure if it matches the above.

    I think it is 'White Russian' from the Revolutionary War because 'Korpusnoj Aviacionyj Otriad Imperatorskij Voenno-vozdusnyh Flot' means 'Corps aviation detachment Imperial Airforce'. A Podpraporshik was an ensign.

    Either WWI or Revolution, it's definitely under the Czar/loyalists thereof's colors.
