Re: Red dot in US Stars
This is what I found in Roger Freeman's "The Mighty Eighth Warpaint & Heraldy" regarding the meatballs (page 19):
...the US device was modified by the deletion of the central red disk. This introduction, notified to take effect from 15 May 1942, was endorsed by Technical Order T/O 07-1-1 of 1 June. Under this order the red centre was to be removed from the national insignia on all USAAF aircraft, combat or otherwise.
Perhaps this could be of some help...
Best Regards,
Christoph
