US 45th Infantry Division carried the swastika on their unit patch until the rise of Nazi Germany in WW2.

It was quite common in Native American art, and can still be seen on pre-1940 Pennsylvanian Dutch Hex sign artwork.

the cross on the brewsters is called the Von Rossen cross named after a swedish count who flew in ww1 I belive, as stated before, it was around much longer then hitler and his lot

the blue swastika used by the FAF was the lucky family symbol of von Rosen which donated a Morane-Saulnier L to the Finnish "White Army" in 1918 and von Rosen didn't fly in World War I.

Been around longer than the Brewster has and you're just noticing this?

Hard to beliieve isn't it.  I have actually flown the plane many times before but I never noticed the markings.  Actually I fly the spits and il2's a lot and I can't tell you the markings on them either.  I started noticing all the details when I learned to set up my vc/ resolution and all the extra goodies right.

In Finland it is a part of "tursaansydän", an ancient symbol of luck and protection.    Don't equate it with Nazi's, most of us don't.

Knew I could find that somewhere, I can't post the direct pic as this isn't my computer, but it's interesting the history you can find out about all kinds of things.

That nazi logo ruined it for the finns and asians (they use it too for good luck)
