Thread: Breguet XIV in post War Polish service

    Default Breguet XIV in post War Polish service

    I am looking for every possible source of information on paint schemes and markings of French Breguets XIV in post War Polish service. Thanks in advance for help, chaps.

    There's the now quite dated Profile Publications booklet, or the 80pp Albatros Productions Windsock Datafile Special by Alan Toelle from 2003 which is excellent for all users and engine fits, and I've seen it going quite cheap on eBay recently. In addition to quite a few photos it includes colour profiles of Polish 3, 10 and 16 Observations Sqns in the immediate post-WWI period.

    Plane color, olive green
    Wing markings, Red Square, edged in White

    Flip side of card

    Turkish pilots with Breguet XIV A 2 during the War of Independence, 1919-1922 - Source: Wikipedia

    'During the First World War, a black square was introduced, outlined in white when required (this is allegely due to the lack of red paint, or to make Axis markings more similar; moreover, the Ottoman Air Force, as a Muslim state corps, even though operating German machines with German pilots, could not use the German Iron cross). In 1918 a first red-white-red roundel appeared, but it was soon replaced with a red square outlined in white, that was used up till 1972. The fin was then painted in red with the white crescent and star.'
