   Hmm - I recall seeing pictures of Finnish aircraft that had blue swastika
   markings on a round white background.   Perhaps the anti-nazi feelings are

Blue swastika on white background was the old Finnish AF id symbol ( 1917-
1944 ). It was changed when we pulled out of WWII to a blue ring on white
background.
