The Hinomaru, or “circle of the sun,” was the national insignia of Japanese aircraft in WWII. Its bold red circle stood out against the pale paint schemes of Zero fighters and Betty bombers. Simple yet unmistakable, it represented Japan’s Imperial forces across the Pacific. Allied pilots called it the “meatball,” a marking they came to recognize instantly in combat. This shirt captures the iconic roundel with a distressed effect, reflecting the wear of aircraft in long Pacific campaigns. A historic tribute for aviation collectors and history buffs.
