AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

9th Aero Sqn. USAS


The Breguets of the First and Second Flights were overall black for use in night missions in the closing days of the war. those of the Third Flight retained their French camouflage.

The unit insignia of the 9th Aero Squadron was a grey disc with crossed searchlights forming an IX. Within its arms was the silhouette of a Br.14. The First Flight carried a mouth on the nose, the Second Flight had a swastika on the fin, while the Third Flight had red/white checks to the tail.It is thought that the squadron insignia wasn't added until postwar.
