This \"no red dot\" configuration remained in use until June 1943, when the red-and-white bar insignia was introduced. This decal set accurately represents this important transitional period in U.S. military aviation markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality decal sheet featuring U.S. national insignia in various sizes without the red center dot.
