Historical Information
The Imperial Russian Air Service entered World War I with an established military aviation organization. Its aircraft carried national markings based on the Russian tricolor, distinguishing them from the aircraft of the other Eastern Front powers.
 
Reconnaissance was a central wartime task, but Russian aviation also developed fighter and bombing capabilities. The Sikorsky Ilya Muromets heavy bomber became one of the most distinctive aircraft associated with the service.
 
Wartime expansion placed severe demands on domestic aircraft and engine production. Russian units operated varied equipment, so national markings must be considered alongside the aircraft type and date of service.
 
The revolutions of 1917 ended the imperial service's original organization. Personnel and aircraft passed into the competing forces of the civil war, making it important to distinguish an Imperial Russian scheme from later Soviet or other Russian markings.
