AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Marine Feld Jasta II
Formed on 19 October 1917, MFJ II was initially equipped with Pfalz D.III/IIIa
aircraft. While flying the Pfalz their markings consisted of a white tail.
I had previously had all of the Pfalz seen here as part of MFJ III, however
MFJ III wasn't formed until June 1918, well after the markings depicted
here.
The second profile of 4114/17 may be at Kest 8, not MFJ II. The unit
marking of Kest 8 was for a time a snake around the fuselage. So it could
belong to either unit .. snake for Kest ,. white tail for MFJ II .. take
your pick.
Later the Marine Feld Jastas used yellow tails with chordwise stripes
on the elevator to denote the jasta, MFJ II had two black stripes on each
elevator.
