Historical Information
During World War II, RAF aircraft commonly carried fuselage code letters that identified both the squadron and the individual aircraft. A typical arrangement used a two-character squadron code together with a separate individual aircraft letter, positioned around the national roundel on the fuselage.
Code colors and styles varied with camouflage, theater requirements, and period instructions. White or other high-contrast lettering could be used where visibility against the aircraft finish was required, but the correct color for a particular aircraft should be verified from period photographs or unit references.
Aircraft serial numbers were separate from squadron code letters and served as the official identity of the individual airframe. Exact size, spacing, and placement varied, so specific aircraft should be matched to reliable photographic evidence.
