AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Austria-Hungary: Naval Air Service


A-H naval aircraft were generally in plain finishes with varnished wood and natural fabric. Extensive red/white/red striping was used on the wings and tail surfaces. The crown and shield insignia was placed in the centre of the tail striping although those aircraft built in Germany often lacked the crown/shield.

Serials on flying boats differed from land aircraft in having a letter prefix to identify the class and an individual number to identify the individual boat. Those built in Germany often had an additional decimal after the numeral.

Flying boats based at Pola later had two toned hulls
