I received already infos from Peru, including 
Air Force. 
Unfortunately those infos will be available in my 
Bulletin [frp] 
only in 2001 (next millenium).

Light blue flag with Air Force emblem, which shows a golden bird (stylized 
condor?) under the national arms and white stars, all on a red ring ribbon 
with yellow letters reading "Fuerza Aérea del Peru".
António Martins, 31 Dec 2006


The Peruvian Air Force was formed in 1919 as Servicio de Aviación 
Militar del Ejército del Peru and changed it name few times until 
became Fuerza Aérea del Peru on July 1950. 
Book [c2e98] reports that in 1922 it 
adopted a roundel and vertical rudder 
stripes (see this 
photo from Airliners.NET); same markings appear at
Jane’s [jfs] 1945.

The Album 2000 [pay00] says 
that the Navy Aircraft Marking is the Civil flag 
on fin. (Identical to the Navy Aircraft 
Marking.)

Book [c2e98] reports that 
in 1922 it adopted vertical rudder stripes; book 
[whe86] shows fin flash instead 
of rudder stripes. As costumary in South America, both are right: 
Non-camuflagued planes use rudder stripes (see 
example photo 
from Airliners.NET) while camuglagued planes use fin flash (see 
example photo from 
Airliners.NET).

Red white red roundel, according to the Album 2000 
[pay00]. (Forms the base for the 
Navy Aircraft roundel.)

The Airforce Roundels of Peru and Turkey 
resemble each other very much.
