I can make out "Vaterland", which I think could be German for Fatherland.

I'll guess Holy Roman Empire.


So is that goat or sheep like I thought?

Ah, I've seen that one before. The massive necklace on the other one and the way the fleece looked on the one in your picture was throwing me off. I sat there staring at it for the longest trying to decipher what it was. That's a good one.

Let's change gears a moment... Identify the national markings on these aircraft...

Hmm that's a stumper. The only other time I've seen a picture of those aircraft they had different markings.

I think I'm close but I can't figure it out. I bet GeauxxxTigers knows

Those are American made P-47 Thunderbolts of the Mexican Air Force.

Here's another one....



What national markings are those?

Bonus: Identify the make and country of origin of the aircraft... it's different from the nationl markings BTW.

I'm guessing that's a Syrian bomber. Can't remember the type but I believe it's a German design.
