Light blue flag with Air Force emblem, which shows a golden bird (stylized
condor?) under the national arms and white stars, all on a red ring ribbon
with yellow letters reading "Fuerza Aérea del Peru".
António Martins, 31 Dec 2006
The Peruvian Air Force was formed in 1919 as Servicio de Aviación
Militar del Ejército del Peru and changed it name few times until
became Fuerza Aérea del Peru on July 1950.
Book [c2e98] reports that in 1922 it
adopted a roundel and vertical rudder
stripes (see this
photo from Airliners.NET); same markings appear at
Jane’s [jfs] 1945.

The Album 2000 [pay00] says
that the Navy Aircraft Marking is the Civil flag
on fin. (Identical to the Navy Aircraft
Marking.)

Book [c2e98] reports that
in 1922 it adopted vertical rudder stripes; book
[whe86] shows fin flash instead
of rudder stripes. As costumary in South America, both are right:
Non-camuflagued planes use rudder stripes (see
example photo
from Airliners.NET) while camuglagued planes use fin flash (see
example photo from
Airliners.NET).

Red white red roundel, according to the Album 2000
[pay00]. (Forms the base for the
Navy Aircraft roundel.)
