I just picked up a pair of pilot's wings that I'm sure are from a Central or
South American Air Force but am not sure which one.  The wings are gold and
have a disc in the centre with the roundel on them.  I know I've seen this same
roundel on aircraft, and on a decal sheet once but can't remember which country
they're from.  
The roundel in the center of the wings is divided in eqial thirds horizontally
in med blue/white/med blue and it has a red bar diagonally from upper left to
lower right.  I was thinking they might be Guatamalan but confirmed that's not
correct.  Does anyone tell from the description which country they are from?

Thanks........Bill

I only have a black-and-white picture to go by, but Uruguayan A-37s
wear a marking like this.
