My pleasure.


I have a markings question for any Czech or Slovak history experts.

Prewar Czech aircraft found online seem to usually be shown with the Letka letters to the front and aircraft numbers towards the rear. For example V4 on the left side and 4V on the right side. I have seen rare photos with both sides the same (letter then number) but it seems unusual.

However mid war Slovak Republic aircraft are usually shown as having both sides the same (letter then number). Though again there are exceptions.

Is this historically correct ? Where the markings mainly letter forward and number near the tail in the prewar Czech airforce and this later changed to letter then number left to right on aircraft used by the Slovak Republic ?
