AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
No.25 Sqn RFC/RAF
No.25 Sqn used black stripes on the nose of their FE2s as an unofficial
marking. These were one, two or three stripes for A, B and C Flights respectively
and were often outlined in white. When DH4s replaced their FEs, the black
stripe was used on the fuselage and fin. In August 1917, they were allotted
an offical marking of a crescent.
