          A Guide To U.S. Army Insignia And Decorations

Please note: In the booklet shown above, at the bottom right, the Army Air Corps insignia was modified following the Pearl Harbor attack. Specifically, the red circle inside the white star, within the blue circle, was changed to white. This alteration was made because the Army Air Corps was concerned that the red circle resembled the Japanese insignia on aircraft.
