Description
In 1917 the US government set out a roundel to be used on US Army aircraft. This roundel would be replaced in most instance by a roundel based on European use, only to be reintroduced in 1919, but with different proportions. The center dot on this version is 1/3 of the diameter - on the later version it was reduced to being bound by lines connecting the inner points of the star. Note that the colors specified matched the US flag (Old Glory Red, & Old Glory Blue), unlike the later colors, particularly the blue, which was darker on the later roundels. A snug, form-fitting beanie. It's not only a great head-warming piece but a staple accessory in anyone's wardrobe. 100% Turbo Acrylic 12″ (30 cm) in length Hypoallergenic Unisex style Hand washable Blank product sourced from Vietnam or Bangladesh Aviation Roundel 1917-1918 Embroidered Cuffed Beanie
