From Album 2000 [pay00] -
Aircraft Marking - Black fimbriated white two-crossbars cross
("Vytis cross"). The white border all around is not
given in [cos98]. The first
Lithuanian aricraft marking, that in use in 1919-1920 was more
flag related, being a tricolour diamond (as in Brazilian flag)
with the Vytis rider in the central red diamond field. In 1920-21
it was found to complicated, and it was replaced by red shield
with white Vytis cross, and in 1921 the current design was
introduced. Disontinued in 1940, or course. Paramilitary National
Guard used tall red shield with Vytis cross in 1936-1940.
