Aircraft of the newly formed Aviacion Militar Venezolana (Venezuelan Military
Aviation) were given markings in the national colours of yellow, blue and red. The main
marking was probably a simple adaptation of the existing French national markings on the
aircraft supplied, and was applied in the standard six positions, (above and below each
wing and on the fuselage sides). National flag was applied to the rudder. These markings
were carried by all the aircrafts (Caudron G-3, CR-32, P-47, etc.)
Example: Dewoitine D.500/D.510
Example: Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
1954 to 1968

Basically same as the period 1920-1955 but with certain modifications in the
roundels dimensions plus the flag painted in four positions. Appeared the word FAV
(Fuerza Aerea Venezolana [Venezuelan Air Force]) Big flag painted in the rudder and the
aft fuselage sections. Matricules with four terms: Numbers and letters for the squadron,
aircraft type and aircraft number. The paint scheme was natural metal. (For example,
Republic P-47D, BAC Canberra, Hunting Jet Provost, etc.)
1969 to 1980
Was the same as in the past period. The flag of the fixed portion of the rudder is
more little. The aircrafts used the four digits matricule system. Paint scheme was
Natural Metal.
1980 to 1985
With the adoption of the four colours camouflage schemes, the roundels were used
only in the wings. In the fuselage, two little Venezuelan flags. In the fin flash, use
one yellow winged star and the four digits matricule. For example, BAC Canberra, C-130,
Canadair CF5A/D, etc. Not included the AMD-BA Mirage IIIEV/5V/5DV and the NA T-2D
Buckeye.
Example: Embraer EMB-312/T-27 Tucano/EMB-314/A-29 Super Tucano
1985 to Present

The same as the past period but the winged star is eliminated and replaced by the
Triangulo de Combate (Combat triangle) The winged star was reserved for use only for the
training units.
