AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Jagdgeschwader Nr.II
The second 'Circus' to be formed was JG.II under Hptm. Adolf Tutschek,
and consisted of Jastas 12, 13, 15 and 19.
After Tutschek's death in March 1918, Rudolf Berthold took over. Berthold
came from Jasta 18 and in a bit of deft maneuvering he brought his entire
Jasta with him - exchanging their number for that of Jasta 15. Berthold
also instituted the colour scheme that would become synonymous with JG.II
- blue tails, with a different coloured nose for each of the component
Jastas.
