Re: Pre-War RAF Squadron colours

Good question Alex.

I have no info on that and this is just my guess, but maybe it was an "extension" of WWI markings. By 1918 most RFC/RNAS/RAF squadrons had individual squadron markings of geometric shapes, lines/stripes, circles etc. With less rigorous peacetime duties perhaps these were merely elaborated further.

Perhaps someone else can shed some more light on this.
