WORLD WAR ERA

According to the Bleriot XI Datafile, many of them left the factory in
an overall white finish.Others could be seen in CDL/Grey and some British
machines even carried camouflage. The first national markings on British
Bleriots were union jacks on the rudder. Later, RNAS aircraft adopted
a red/white roundel, while RFC aircraft took on the familiar red/white/blue
roundel.
