The swastika was also in use in the west in the early 20th century before the Nazis came to power. One example of this can be seen painted on the inside of the nosecone of the Spirit of Saint Louis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spirit_of_St._Louis_Nose_Cone_1.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spirit_of_St._Louis_Nose_... (It should probably be noted that the Spirit of Saint Louis was flown by Charles Lindbergh, who is generally thought to have been a Nazi sympathizer a bit later in life. But I think it's unlikely this particular swastika from 1927 was painted with the Nazis in mind. Particularly, it wasn't painted by Lindbergh.)
