DONE OF CAPITOL ON FIELD OF BLUE WITH CIRCLE

Description of Insignia for

GIVE OTHER DESIGNS

| The dome of the Capitol against n
of alternate blue and gold squares,
has been painted on the sides of
fuselages of all Boiling Field planes
as the official insignia of aircraft be
longing to that Army Air Corps sta
ton.
a description of this insignia has
been broadcast throughout the serV-
ice. and Army airmen ut other fields

In adopting the insignia Boiling

quarters A third. the 99th ObserVa-
ton. has been transferred to Texas
and California under recent plans
worked out for enlargement of the
Air Corps under the tive-year building
program.
While the Capitol's dome specifies
the plane as belonging to Boiling
Field. another color scheme has been
adopted. along with other planes
throughout the service, which desig-
mates them at first glance as Army
craft. This embodies the painting of
the red. Waite and blue on the rud
ders Heretofore both Army and Navy
craft bore three vertical red. white
and blue stripes on the movable part
of the rudder which established them
as being military planes. but as far
as the plane in flight was concerned,
the difference often could not be told.
Most Navy planes are painted silver
and most Army planes are olive drab,
but this color distinction always did
not work out.
So the Army kept the first blue
vertical stripe and then painted alter
nate red and white horizontal stripes
to the trailing edge of the rudder.
This fact, together with the position
of the large white stars on the tops
and bottoms of the wings and close
to the edges, clearly identified a ship
with these markings as an Army
plane. Or a plane with vertical red,
white and blue stripes on the rudder
and the large white stars on the top
and bottom wings but painted closer
to the fuselage and away from the
wing tips, Identifies it as a Navy
plane. A Marine plane has all the
Navy markings and in addition a
large red globe, anchor and eagle on
the side of the fuselage.
