Development of Squadron and Flight Markings 1918 - 1939
AMWO 895/24 (18 December 1924)
Distinguishing Marks on Aircraft
The standardisation of squadron and flight marking on aircraft is under consideration and orders will be issued in due course.
Pending a decision on this subject, any squadron which has adopted a system may be permitted to retain the distinguishing mark providing it does not obscure the national marking and is approved by the AOC.
Flight Markings - It has been decided that a distinguishing mark shall be adopted in respect of flights of each squadron by painting wheel discs of the aircraft as indicated below. These markings will be taken into use forthwith.
'A' Flight - red
'B' Flight - yellow
'C' Flight - blue
In no circumstances will radiators, spinners or other parts of aircraft be painted in any but their original colour, nor will mottoes, badges or other devices be painted on aircraft.
