AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Austria-Hungary: FLIK 14


According to O"Connor, Flik 14 was based at Feltre with Flik 60, and in order to differentiate between their aircraft, Flik 14 used red bands with rounded letters, while Flik 60 used a black band and angular letters.

According to the JaPo Aviatik book, Fliks 14 and 16 both received ex-Flik 60 aircraft and all three units had red bands. For now I'm following O'Connor's research on this as it was not based on Gerrard's fabric swatches, but rather interviews and documents detailing unit colours..
