Apart from the Germans, which other two European air forces employed a 'swastika-style' design as their national markings during the war?

well done Polar and Drone_pilot

the answer is;

The Finns had adopted a blue swastika on a white disc as its national markings as early as 1918. It was employed until 1944 when the Finns switched their allegiance to the Russians. Tha Latvians also employed a red swastika on a white disc from 1918 until 1940. Neither symbol had any connection with the German Nazis or any other Fascist meaning.
