What's Included

This decal set includes multiple sizes of the Operation Torch national insignia, featuring the distinctive yellow circle surrounding the white star on blue background. This special marking was used to help prevent friendly fire incidents during the North African landings, as the yellow border made American aircraft more easily distinguishable from enemy aircraft.

Historical Significance

Operation Torch marked America's first major offensive operation in the European/North African theater. The yellow-bordered insignia was specifically adopted for this operation to reduce the risk of Allied aircraft being mistaken for enemy planes by Allied naval forces and ground troops unfamiliar with aircraft recognition.
