Leader airplane marking ribbon on strut
Anybody know about these markings?
I know, this marking was used on the (squadron) leader`s airplane, but I don`t know these ribbons color or any text or any system and information about these.

I know that RFC used that method and in one of last issues of Fly Past was one profile of Camel with that kind of markings.

Streamers were a common method of identifying the aircraft of either flight or squadron leaders. They could be flown from the interplane struts, the tail surfaces, or both. To my knowledge, there were no specifications regarding the color of streamers so long as they were highly visible.

Here's some information that Dan San gave me regarding Udet's leaders streamers. Hope this helps.
