Additionally, the yellow Axis identification colour gave way to white, painted on the top wingtips, too. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on October 15, 2007 05:13 pm

The correct name is "King Michael's Cross". It is the the Royal Seal of King Michael 1st of Romania, respectively a cross formed by 4 letters M. "St. Michael's Cross" is a misnomer propagated by the Internet. HTH Radu
