What's with the 1860's guys? That's history and aeroplanes weren't available then. We're talking about a fictional 'what-if' 1939-45 situation here, so the rationale doesn't really need much credibility. All you have to do is state that for economic issues (which existed in the 20's and 30's, lets be honest) the South has decided to secede again. Not a slavery issue, just a failure of politics and one that's gotten out of hand.

I've decided that I'll have my own version of the CSAAF use the following roundel. based on the battle flag, simple, and easily recognisable from the standard USAAF symbol.
