AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Caudron G.4
The G4 was a development of the G3 with twin engines and larger wings.
The twin engine configuration allowed for the mounting of a forward firing
machine guns, and many variations could be found with this in mind. Additional
weapons were also added that could be fired to the rear.
Caudron G.4s were finished in various patterns, the first of which was
CDL with metalwork painted to match. Others were seen in an overall white,
and then the French yellow scheme was applied to later ones.The recent
restoration of the NASM's G.4 shows that metal components were painted
turquiose. Many had the two cowls painted in different colours. . usually
red and white
