AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Schusta/Schlasta 7


Schusta 7 was formed from Kasta 25 on January 1, 1917. No information is available on markings until the summer of 1918 at which time a diagonal white band was used as their unit markings. At various times they used the Albatros C.VI (?), DFW C.V, Rumpler C.I, LVG C.IV, AEG C.IV, Halberstadt CL.II and Hannover CL.II/IIIa, but only two photos showing the last two types have been found so far.
