AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

KAGOHL/BOGOHL 3


Kampfgeshwader III consisted of staffels 13 to 18. I am uncertain as to just which staffel the aircraft below belonged, therefore they are grouped with their parent organization as well as individual staffel when known.
It appears that the component staffels used various means to differentiate between each other. Staffel 17 has the green fuselage and nose markings, while an unknown staffel uses a fuselage band. Individual aircraft often carried the intials of the pilot and commander. The gunner's initial was usually left off, although this can be seen to not be the case with MoRoTAS. Wheel covers were often halved black and white.
