[WWI] 54 Sqdn. Redux

[john isn't eddie anymore]

Help!!!I'm still playing with "how were the aircraft of 54 Sqd. really painted?" The more I read, the "confuseder" I get. Cecil Lewis, describing the dogfight from which Ball went MIA, describes his flight as having red noses and Ball's a/c as having a red spinner. Richard Collier cites the same passage, and also states that 56 was almost as colorful as the Circus. And there's "Wind in The Wires"-slightly later in time, yet all 56's a/c seem to have been rather colorful. At Colney, Lewis' SE had only the wheel discs red, but how much was painted further after the a/c were re-worked? Come on-SOMEBODY push me over the edge-TYIA-J Marganski
