Historical Information

The Royal Naval Air Service was Britain's naval aviation organization during World War I. Its responsibilities included maritime reconnaissance, coastal patrol and ship-related flying, alongside other wartime operations.

Early RNAS aircraft markings developed during a period when the British flying services were still establishing reliable national identification practices. Naval aircraft did not always carry precisely the same treatment as their Royal Flying Corps counterparts.

The service operated a varied collection of landplanes and seaplanes. Their different structures and finishes affected the size and positions available for national markings, making early naval aviation a particularly varied modelling subject.

This sheet is intended for the stated 1914-1915 marking period. Match the design to a dated photograph rather than applying later standardized RAF roundels to every early RNAS aircraft.
