AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Fokker E.V


In January 1919, the Poles captured Lawica and found nearly many German aircraft and spare parts in storage. Most were types withdrawn from the front, but amongst them were eight Fokker E.V fighters. These were soon repaired and issued to the Polish air Service. Two went to No.7 Fighter Squadron and have been the subject of many profiles. The serials and pilots of these two aircraft are variously given as 183/18, 187/18, 188/18 and 195/18. 00.1 was definately flown by Stefan Stec, while 00.2 has been given as Stec, Bustyr or Peter.

Initially left in the ex-works finish of lozenge fabric and olive drab wing, cowl and struts. Later given an olive top surfaces and light blue undersurfaces were applied. The Polish 'checkerboard' could be seen with the red square in either upper left or right quadrant and also with or without outlining
