AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Schusta/Schlasta 24b


The white diamond marking was previously attributed to Schlasta 21 as of September 1918. However Schusta/Schlasta 24b actually used it from its inception, indeed it - along with a blue numeral - was the marking of Kasta 35 from which Schusta 24b was formed in January 1917. In February 1918, the tail of their aircraft were painted white with a blue band in front of it. This band was dispensed with later, but the other markings remained until the end.
