No, very definitely French. Perhaps I didn't describe it clearly; the
roundel still has three concentric circles, with the outer red and the
dot in the middle blue. The claim, however, is that the 2nd ring
which is usually white is instead "transparent" as it were, with the
wing fabric color showing instead of white. (So the red and blue are
not adjacent as in an American roundel.)
