AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Felixstowe N.A.S.


In the summer and fall of 1918 the aircrew at Felixstowe took to painting their flying boats in 'dazzle' markings. The purpose of which was not to conceal, but rather to make themselves as visible as possible to friends in a fight or when downed at sea.
