One of the “decorations” at my office. A full-size bi-plane suspended three stories above the ground floor.

@Blazer - what are we looking at here? Looks like a RAF roundel, but the tail fin looks like the flag of France.

That is how the RAF tail fins looked in the 1920s.

I just did a bit more research and RAF used this flash into WWII. Even Spitfires had a smaller version of this fin flash. French flag is the reverse (blue, white, red).

Thanks for this. And it looks like Canada inherited the roundel and tail fin flash from RAF. Although the Canadian roundel is different now. So is the tail fin flash.

Cool photo. I have pretty much that same wood propeller, made by Hartzell, hanging on my wall. It is somewhere between 90 to 105 years old.

My brother, who's hobby is antiques, came across it in an antique store and bought it for my birthday around 15 years a go. Several pilot friends, who are also aviation history buffs dated it. There is also a serial number stamped in the wood. They also said I could contact Hartzell Propeller, who are still making propellers to this day, and they could probably give the exact date of manufacture.
