AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

No.13(N)Sqn RNAS / No.213 Sqn RAF


The former Dunkerque Seaplane Defence Flight/Squadron became No.13(N)Sqn RNAS on 15 January 1918, however for the purposes of easier allocation I am splitting them between the original Sopwith Baby seaplanes, and the later Sopwith Pups and Camels. The former two types are under their earlier organization, and can be found on the Seaplane Defence Flt/Sqn page. The Camels will be found here.
The commander of the unit in its various incarnations was Ronald Graham, except for a short stint when he was hospitalized and Raymond Collishaw took over. I have heard rumours of the various aircraft being in red, blue and black markings as per those in Naval Ten while Collishaw was in command. More information on this is highly desired.
