Nice, but why is there an American star on it?

It's not an American Star
"Star and Circle
A plain white star surrounded by a continuous or broken white circle came into common usage
towards the end of 1943 (July) primarily an aerial identification marking. Numerous
complaints from air crew that the white star on a dark background could be mistaken
for a cross. It was during this period that the term “American Luftwaffe” was coined.
The star and circle continued in service throughout the remainder of the war. This
symbol was used by all Allied forces from the time of Normandy on."

And thanks for the comments
