The RNAS bought 6 Caproni ca.42 bombers (1918?). Does anyone have information on the color scheme and markings of those planes? Photos?
From what I understand, this is an image of one of the six British planes. I assume the markings on the tale are red white and blue bars (front to back). If no one knows how it was painted, what would be a good guess? Was their a standard color scheme for RNAS bombers?
Also, from the pictures I have seen of this and other Caproni bombers, it looks like they had fixed fins with no rudder. This link shows it best:

THe wires seem to make the fins immovable. If this is correct, how did they stear on the ground? Coordinate turns, etc?
