"This has nearly not changed since 1931. It is a green triangle with a black border. Superimposed on this has been a representation of the Arabic word "Jaish", for army, in red."

Fin flash

On the fin is painted the national flag. This marking changed when the national flag changed.

The only change since 1931 was in tail insignia. While the Royal Iraqi Air Force used vertical rudder stripes in green-white-red-black, since 1958 the national flag has been used as fin flash (which was changed when the flag changed).
