AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Caproni Ca.4
The RNAS made use of six Italian Caproni Ca.4 triplane bombers. N526-N529
were delivered to 6 Wing at Otranto on January 12, 1918, while N530-531
on the 26th. They were allreturned to Italian service at the end of March
as they were required for anti-submarine patrol. . some were possibly
later once again loaned to the RAF as they are listed as being in RAF
service in November/December 1918.
They appear to be finished in an overall dark colour, possibly Italian
dark green or perhaps PC10/12. Large white outlined, black serials are
on the nacelle and tail booms, and at least three of them (N526, 527 and
N529) carried fancy nose art on the front of the nacelle.
