AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Jasta 23b


Unit marking of Jasta 23b was a black and white striped tail. One of the more interesting aircraft used by any Jasta was the Sopwith Camel flown by Ltn Otto Kissenberth. He scored his 20th and last victory in it on 20 May 1918. It got its revenge when Kissenberth crashed on 29 May and was then invalided out of combat flying for the rest of the war.
