AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

RFC/RAF(Canada): No.89 CRS/CTS


1917 – Red wingtips. Red elevator tips. One, two or three fuselage bands denoting A, B or C flight

1917-18 – As above

In addition to the above markings, many could also be seen with the name of a Canadian city or battle honour (usually from the War of 1812). In some cases the name was repeated on more than one aircraft, and also the font may change with subsequent repaintings after damage - C368 can be see in both fancy and plain script.
