AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

No.25 Sqn RFC/RAF


No.25 Sqn used black stripes on the nose of their FE2s as an unofficial marking. These were one, two or three stripes for A, B and C Flights respectively and were often outlined in white. When DH4s replaced their FEs, the black stripe was used on the fuselage and fin. In August 1917, they were allotted an offical marking of a crescent.
