The 25th Aero Sqn made its first flight over the lines on November
10th 1918, the next day another patrol was flown before the Armistice
took effect.
As their aircraft only started arriving in early November, all
of the fancy markings are postwar additions. Unit emblem was an
executioner wielding a large axe. Individual numbers were white
and were placed below the cockpit. Many of the aircraft carried
names on the cowl. A diagonal white stripe and large white number
were carried on the upper wing.
