Black Flight

10 Naval Squadron's "B" Flight, better known as "Black Flight." This all-Canadian flight was commanded by the ace Raymond Collishaw. Their aircraft, named Black Maria, Black Prince, Black George, Black Death and Black Sheep, were distinguishable by their black-painted wheels and cowlings.
Black Flight claimed 87 German aircraft in three months while equipped with the Triplane. Collishaw himself scored 34 of his eventual 60 victories in the aircraft, making him the top Triplane ace.
Models and textures by me.

"Black Maria" was the highest-scoring triplane of all of them credited with no fewer than 23 kills. 18 of these were scored by Raymond Collishaw
