Roundel of the United States Army Air Corps used from 1926 to 1941. When the Air Corps name was changed to the United States Army Air Force which retained the roundel until 1942 when complaints came that the red dot in the centre of the star could be confused by anti-aircraft personnel or other pilots for Japanese aircraft (their roundel was a red circle). The roundel was revised in 1942 with the red dot removed. This is a colour correction to Image:USAAC_Roundel.svg‎ by User:Bburton who has released the image into the public domain.
