The Bahrain Amiri Air Force was formed in 1977 as the Bahrain Defense Force Air Wing (so say Cochrane and Ellison [cos98]; another source says 1976). Also according to Cochrane and Ellison, until 1985 it used only a national flag as fin flash, but since 1985 has added a roundel, probably since they got their first jet fighters in December 1985. It got its current [as of the time this was written – Ed.] name in 1987.

![[Roundel (Bahrain)]](../images/b/bh^round.gif)
Roundel of four concentric disks red-white-red-white, the outer red ring being the double width of the next two being of equal width.
Source: Album des Pavillons, [pay00]Željko Heimer, date unknown
Cochrane and Ellison show the roundel as two red rings of the same width on a white circle, and the fin flash as the national flag bordered in red. The image above, based on Album des Pavillons 2000 [pay00] shows a thinner inner ring. Various online photographs of Bahraini aircraft show that the Album's report is the correct one. One photo also shows a gold border around the roundel and the fin flash, which is a representation of the national flag but with dividing straight line (without the "teeth"). It also shows no red border to the fin flash.
