 Yes, U.K. air-force.  I don't know what country you're from but we
 have lots of film about aircraft fighting over western europe in 
 world war 2,  where it's fairly well known that the English markings
 were a red-white-blue roundel (French a blue-white-red) and German 
 were a stylised iron cross plus small swastika on the tail-plane.
 
 Roundel means three concentric colour rings, like a target for arrows.
