This section describes and illustrates the various national insignia used by the Serbian (formerly Yugoslav) Air Force since World War Two. (Changes in the national flag are shown on another page).

Yugoslavia, 1945-1992
After World War Two, the roundel used by Yugoslav Partisan aircraft serving with the RAF became the basis for a standardised marking. This featured a red star over a blue and white roundel. The fin marking was the national flag with a yellow outlined red star on a blue, white and red background. The main marking is normally displayed on the fuselage sides of helicopters, and in the standard six positions on aircraft. Aircraft do not carry service titles.

The main marking is normally displayed on the fuselage sides of helicopters, and in the standard six positions on aircraft. The national flag is carried as a fin flash. Aircraft do not carry service titles.
