Military Colors

by Joe McMillan, 3 March 2002

Infantry and Artillery - Infantry and artillery units carry the national flag, 90 x 145 cm, with the coat of arms on the center and, inscribed on the upper blue stripe the words DIOS UNION LIBERTAD [God, Union, Liberty] and on the lower the type and number of the unit, all in gold.  The staff is 250 cm long and 4 cm in diameter, with a gold-colored rhomboid lance-head, edged on the sides and at the point.  [Below the lance-head, two blue and white streamers are attached, but I'm not sure of the specific design.]. There is only one artillery regiment in the SV army.
Cavalry - Cavalry units carry the same flag, but with the inscriptions in silver.

Aircraft Marking

Fuerza Aérea Salvadorena was formed in 20 March 1923 as Flotilla Aérea Salvadorena. From the start, it used a blue-white-blue roundel. The only change was in the tail colors which were changed from vertical rudder stripes (www.skytamer.com/el-salvador/01.htm) to horizontal rudder stripes in 1930 (www.skytamer.com/el-salvador/02.htm) and to fin flash in 1965 (www.skytamer.com/el-salvador/03.htm).
