Probably 1986-1994

Album 2000 does not give anything about the aircraft markings,
but [cos98] pictures two and
describes the third:
1943-1971 white disk with "sidebars" with blue over red
disk in the middle (described in text that 1964 blue was changed
back to pre-1806 black). See Previous Roundels.
1971 onwards, white disk with "sidebars" with blue and
red concentric disks. See Reported (Wrong)
Markings in Book.

According to a new book titled "Air markings of the
world", published in Beijin China in Oct 2003 and supervised
by Chinese Airforce political Committee, Haitian air marking is
similar shape as US which is red/blue/white disc with two white
arms. The red is double wide as blue and white.

Corps d'Aviation d'Garde d'Haiti was formed in 1942 or 1943.
According to [cos98], between
1943 and 1971 it used the upper (blue-red) version of the Previous Roundels and since 1971 changed the
roundel to the current one.
Also according to [cos98], at the
era of the black-red flag, this was also reflected on the
roundel. Therefore, since the black-red flag was intreduced in
1964, Željko made the previous roundel in black version too.
However, it seems that also the new roundel was used with the
black color instead of the blue, and I got three resons to think
that:
1) The black-red flag was in use until 1986, so when the roundel
was adopted in 1971 it was probably black to begin with.
2) [cos98] show it in black ([whe86] show it in blue).
3) Photo at <www.airliners.net/469904>
As seen also at [whe86] and the
photo, the red internal disc is bigger then reported by [cos98], which seems to report a
wrong roundel.
Haiti has no air force since 1994.

Roy Braybrook [byb85] also show
the roundel on top with black and not blue and with larger inner
disc.
