AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Phönix D.II - Series 122, 222, 322
Phönix D.IIa - Series 422
The D.II/IIA were lightened, versions of the D.I and featured a new wing
design with more ribs, and larger, narrow aspect ailerons.The D.II used
a 200hp Hiero, while the D.IIa had a 230hp Hiero. An easy way to tell
a D.I from the D.II/IIa is the former has a headrest. The Phonix fighters
were more manueverable than the KD, and stronger than the Berg, which
gave them a certain popularity among their pilots, but the D.III(Oef)
was still the prefered aircraft.
According to O'Connor's research, the D.II/IIa was finished in a green
mottle. Crosses were carried at the midwing location, and extended from
the aileron to the leading edge. The Phonix logo was usually carried on
the fin near the rudder hinge line.
