AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Pfalz A.I/II
The Pfalz A series were licence built copies of the Morane-Saulnier
Type L. The designation A.I was given to those fitted with the 80hp Oberursel,
while the A.II had the 100hp Oberursel. P.61 was given a fixed machine
gun and became the prototype E.II
The basic finish was plain overall with black finished metalwork. An
interesting variation was the aircraft of Feld-Flieger Abteilung 9b which
were given red/white stripes while on the Italian front to help their
Austrian allies at a time when Germany was not yet at war with Italy
