AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
No.84 Sqn RFC/RAF
No 84 Sqn arrived in France in September 1917. Their unit marking was
supposed to be a white square bwhind the roundel, however this was never
applied and in its place a horizontal bar was applied to the aft fuselage.
Flights were designated by coloured wheel covers - red, white and blue
for A, B and C flights respectively. Flight letters were applied in front
of the roundel. In March 1918, these markings changed to two inward sloping
bars either side of the roundel and for reasons unknown, the flight letters
were discontinued. Wheel covers remained in flight colours.
