Notes
a) The term “fuselage” only refers to the body of an aircraft and to
those markings that appear thereon, so when these same emblems appear on the wings of
an aircraft they are properly called “wing markings”.
b)
In some
types of aircraft the description “ fuselage” can (technically speaking) include their
tail plane/fin, but that the term given above should never be used to describe any
markings shown thereon – see ‘fin flash’.
