Numeral colors on the 94th Aero's SPAD wings.
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone had good info on the number color(s) painted onto the US 94th Aero Squadron SPAD 13's upper and lower wings. Photos seem to show (and besides Rickenbackers ole Number 1) dark numbers on the port wing top/bottom, and the stripe on the opposite side. The Chief of Air Service memorandum specified black at first (as an official recommendation), which we know wasn't strictly observed. Later, red or black, and often outlined in white was applied to other US Pursuit Squadron SPADs. Anyway, does anyone have any documentation or a series of good photographs to confirm the number colors for the wings, and if they were outlined in another for the 94th Aero's Spads?
