![[Mauritania roundel]](../images/m/mr_round.gif)
by Željko Heimer
A note in Album 2000 indicates the national flag is painted on the fin.
Željko Heimer, 19 June 2002
Force Aerienne Islamique de Mauritanie was formed in 1961. Both Cochrane and Elliot (1998), [cos98], and the Album 2000, [pay00], report the same roundel of green disk with yellow up-pointing crescent and five-pointed star above it. Also both indicate that the national flag is used at the fin.
However, photo at http://www.fighter-jets.de/fighterjets/luftwaffen/mau.jpg
shows also the national flag used as fuselage marking as seen also at http://www.airliners.net/open.file/514113/L/
Note that the "regular" roundel is on the wings.
