What is the most aesthetic aircraft roundel?
>>65317257Estonia
>>65317257
>>65317257Pacific RAAF is probably the best.I've always liked the Manchukuo roundel and the Dutch triandel as well.
Spain, Poland, Pakistan
>>65317267Nice, now bush.
>>65317286>Pacific RAAFconcur it's one of the best lookingI'd also say Turkey, and Denmark
Didn't last very long but it looked cool
>>65317389>When you date a redhead
>>65317257I've always been partial to the RAAF's, the RCAF's is nice too.I just think it's neat how they work in local iconography in a way that looks natural while also paying tribute to their shared ties and history. Instantly recognisable and unmistakable while also proudly displaying the heritage, from a functional standpoint I don't think you could ask for much more.NZAF's looks like a shitpost though. A fucking kiwi.
>>65317462A fucking leaf
>>65317462A fucking roo
^^ you think those are bad look at Norway
I just like USAF
Bahamas is a good colour combo, same with Jamacia.

I like the the poles misunderstood the "roundel" assignment, but it still works.
Proooh
Ottoman Air Force is a lot of things, but it's not round!
The USA star roundel is nice.
>>65317286Also used by RAF and FAA in the Far East during the war.
Independent State of Croatia.
Osea, by far
>>65317952I like the Thai roundel too, it's so funky
the critically endangered kiwi roundel
The two fascist roundels are very aesthetic. A shame for the fascist part.
Forgot picture.
>>65318895>a shame for the italian partFTFY
>>65319049Italian aircrafts were and still are beautiful. Fascists however couldn't run anything efficiently so the industry ended up being fragmented and in disarray with bad resource management, which is a feature of authoritarian regimes as they rely on clientelism and corruption.
>>65319088>Fascists however couldn't run anything efficiently so the industry ended up being fragmented and in disarray with bad resource managementItaly was a dysfunctional and corrupt state with shitty resource management since risorgimento, and its precursor states were the same beforehand.

hot take: all of them are shitmost are just>a circle>a star>a triangleanyway
>>65319359had forgotten about Austriaadd them to >>65317359Poland's >>65317809 not bad either
>>65319170>its precursor statesBefore Risorgimento more than half of Italy was under colonial rule of various European entities, no fucking shit it was badly managed. Italy in the interwar period was actually getting better, but the great war left the whole country in shambles and people were rightly at their fucking limit, so industrialists and capitalists decided to pull what now is the same old trick and pushed a corrupt and violent populist retard hard so they could keep exploiting everyone and drive inequality: that trait of fascism was the actual intended outcome. The hostile government takeover was baldy and his goons' contribution though. The same playbook was adopted by the US in south america.We rightly mock Russia for their laughable state and military inefficiency, while forgetting that Italy went through the same situation and came out the other end almost a century ago (although people still crave the boot), while the USA are at the beginning of that dangerous path right now.And now, have one of the most elegant and beautiful aircraft ever designed.
>>65319477>Before Risorgimento more than half of Italy was under colonial rule of various European entities, no fucking shit it was badly managed.Meanwhile the Savoyards allowed the country to end up even less industrialized right after unification than its constituent parts had been before>Italy in the interwar period was actually getting betterUnemployment was high, inflation was high, and the government was split in a 3 way deadlock. Meanwhile fascists and communists are killing each other and the army is in mutiny>so they could keep exploiting everyone and drive inequalityMany were scared shitless of the reds actually winning ever since the russia debacle. A right-wing dictatorship is more of the same to most people. In comparison the first left wing dictatorship spent the last few years in a civil war and famine, mass killing its own people, and invading their neighbors (nothing has changed lol)>The hostile government takeover was baldy and his goons' contribution though.It was the inevitable conclusion of the government realizing that the military couldn't be trusted to remain loyal. August 1922 was when mussolini realized the emperor had no clothes.Have the best smg of WW2 as thanks
>>65319477>and people were rightly at their fucking limit, so industrialists and capitalists decided to pull what now is the same old trick and pushed a corrupt and violent populist retard hard so they could keep exploiting everyone and drive inequalityHaha you fucking commie retard
>>65319477Italy was and is a logistics wise and infrastructural partly a 3rd world country. the tap water there tastes like chlorine. italys populace has an income which is in avergae 30% lower than germany, autria, switzerland. Italy is like europes mexico, together with albania. To be fair, italy was most exellent managed by its northern supervisors. the only working parts of the catastro / real estate registry are in the northern provinces which were under austrian rule. in the south/mezzogiorno you need a lawer who digs in community archives of the last decades to find out who owns what. italys todays magistrate and federal state borders were drawn by austria back then. when austria took over venice there were cholera epidemics decimating the city because italys richest city had no tap water line but rain water cisterns which collected the gutter water... they were drinking their own piss. so austria build venices 1st bridge into the city, a railway and tadaaa: a tap water line. surprise, no more cholera.but i give ´em that napoleon was fucking them up badly. freeing itlay from the french again was done by austria and germany to a large part.and lets not forget that italians are the ones now trying to trying to colonise southern tyrol since 120 years but the people there still speak german and its one of italys most wealthy provinces. italy has untill today no real national unity. the northern italians look at the southern italians like gypsies, there was a break up movement not that long ago which wanted to split italy in a poor south and a rich north.
>>65319696You can just say commie
>>65320637>there were cholera epidemics>because italy's richest city had no tap waterVenice didn't rely solely on rain water and imported drinking water; drinking water management throughout Venice history wasn't as simple as you make it out to be. The first cholera epidemic happened between 1835 and 1837, came from India but the contagion path followed a different route (France, west Italy, then Venice). It was a literal pandemic of a new disease not dissimilar to what we experienced recently. Funnily enough at the time the Austrians were in an institutional paralysis because the new king was a literal retard.Later in the century overpopulation happened very quickly and overcrowding didn't help, so outbreaks happened, especially in 1849 when the Austrians were actively bombing Venice, Mestre, and Marghera and people took refuge in Venice.Venetian, not Austrian, authorities finally pulled the trigger in 1874 on the aqueduct, after 300 years of plans and proposals and bureaucratic inertia, with work starting in 1880 and being completed in 1884.You're ignorant as a rock and you should stop exposing yourself like that, it's embarrassing.t.

>>65317257Special mention to New Zealand >>65318743 for featuring a flightless bird on theirs.

>>65317601>>65318370For me it's these. Honorable mention to Nationalist China, though. That shit fucks, especially on Chenault's Warhawks.

>>65321663Before I read the file name I thought it was alt-history axis Canadian markings.
>>65318378FAA version had a smaller white aperture in the middle, then they ended up basically using repainted US Navy roundels with white bars since so many planes they had delivered, were painted with US roundels from the factoryRAF tended towards a smaller roundel with the white centre replaced with a light blue (made mixing the white paint with the dark blue paint) from late 1943. But some earlier RAF planes in theatre like Vultee Vengeance and Curtiss Mohawk had the RAAF type roundelsMy personal favourite was the RNZAF's wartime roundel from overpainting the US markings
>>65318737dis is de wae
>>65320637youre kinda excluding the (((mafia))) systematically completely fucking up any infrastructure developmenteverything from billions of dollars in earthquake relief funding being siphoned off to toxic waste from all over other parts of europe being dumped in "stupid southerners" backyards
