AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Schusta/Schlasta 2


Created from KAsta 14 on 1 January 1917, and initially equipped with the Roland C.II and Rumpler C.I until April 1917 when newer - unknown - types replaced them. With the arrival of the Halberstadt CL.II in January 1918, a black tail became the unit marking for Schusta 2. When the crosses were changed, the fin/rudder were painted white.
