AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Jasta 10


One of the few units entirely equipped with the elegant Pfalz D.III, Jasta 10 flew them from the Autumn of 1917 until replaced by the Fokker D.VII in early 1918. During September/October they also had a single Fokker F.I on strength. This was the aircraft of Ltn Werner Voss. My profile of it is in error in that it should have a base coat of turquoise, and the cowl MAY have been yellow.

Jasta 10 used a Chrome Yellow colour as their unit marking. Originally thought to be used for all markings (as seen on many of my D.IIIs), it is now believed to have just been used on their noses, while other colours are on tail and fuselage for individual markings (as per Hecht's 1370)
