AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Schusta/Schlasta 25b
The Hannover below was orignally unknown as to unit, however in Schlachtflieger
it is attributed to Schlasta 25 while it was a component of Schlagru D
- the white tail was the latter unit's marking, while the pennant is assumed
to be a personal marking.
The Halberstadt below was found by a Belgian officer and it has since
been narrowed down to belonging to Schlasta 25b. The colours were noted
at the time by the officer, and his grandson passed them on to Dan-San
Abbott who used them as the basis of an illustration in "Schlachtflieger".
The drawing appears to show a yellow tail with yellow rays extending forward
from it on the fuselage sides and top.
