A friend researching Camels is trying to identify the code letter of 208 Sqn’s D1889 in which Lt W O Carveth was shot down on 25 July 1918, becoming a PoW.
Can you help?

208Sqn RAF is/was apparently known as ‘Navy 8’, formed from 8Sqn, RNAS, on 1/4/1918 when the RNAS and RFC were joined and as such fits into the remit of that book.

It would be RAF by then, wouldn’t it?

Its not in Air Britains Royal Navy Aircraft Serials and Units 1911-1919. No codes at all, in fact…
