AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Fokker D.II


The first D.IIs were finished in overall CDL with riffled cowl. Later, red-brown/green was painted on the uppersurfaces leaving the sides of the fuselage in CDL. Eventually the sides were also painted. Some D.IIs appear to have carried streaks akin to those used on later Fokker aircraft. In most cases the exhaust ate away at the finish below the exhaust channel as well as the lower forward fuselage.

Crosses were originally applied directly to the fabric with no fields. Later squares were applied which were subsequently overpainted - often crudely - leaving thin white surrounds.

The Fokker DII is featured in a Datafile Special
