[WWI] 54 Sqdn. Redux

[Christopher Malany]

Hi, Diego:

There were some "colorful" schemes:  A few machines in
Home Defence squadrons, some trainers, instructors'
machines in the Fighting Schools, the Felixstowe
flying boats, and some of the RNAS aircraft [e.g.
Naval 10's Camels].  The pictorial evidence shows that
on the vast majority of Western Front machines "color"
was confined to wheels or interplane struts to mark
Flight colors, modest stripes on cowlings, etc.  56
Squadron's early S.E.5's are about as extrovert as it
gets, with big splashes of Flight colors outlined with
white on fuselage and tail.  Let's face it, for an
RFC/RAF enthusiast, drab is beautiful!
