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 Most were types withdrawn from the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
