Given the lack of African roundels, I suggest adding the Airforce roundel of Nigeria.

Its Airforce was put into existence in 1964 seeing its first combat duty during the Nigerian Civil War (1967-70) supplied with Soviet MiG-15s, MiG-17s & Iljushin-28s , Nigeria’s 1st combat capable aircraft.

During the 70s, it acquired a batch of 31 of MiG-21s counting as one of the best equipped African Airforce at that time. In the following years it participated in the 1st Liberian Civil War (1989-97), the Sierra Leone Civil War (1991-02) and currently involved in the Conflict of the Niger Delta, Boko Haram insurgency and the Northern Mali War possessing an arsenal of 11 Alphajets, 8 Chengdu J-7s, 12 Embraer 314, 3 JF-17 Thunder and 24 Aermacchi M346s.
