Ugunskrusts

Spārnotā Latvija:

"This site is a collection point for images and information about Latvian aviation, 1918 - 1940."

...

"You will notice that many of the aircraft depicted on this site carry the insignia commonly known as the swastika. I am very aware of the painful association which many of us have with this symbol. Please understand that the symbol had a history and usage which dates from long before the nazis co-opted it. In Latvia, it was called the Ugunskrusts (which translates as "fire cross") and was a positive cultural symbol centuries before the first nazi was born. The Latvian aviators adopted this symbol in 1919, and its use continued until 1940."
