Estonia’s Henri Farman HF-30 was captured by Estonian cavalry and infantry forces near the City of Narva from the Bolsheviks, on 19 January 1919. It was
the only Estonian aircraft to carry the first Estonian Air Defence Force insignia design - a plain, black square. When it became known that Turkey already
used that symbol, the Estonian black square was changed to a triangle in the colours of the Estonian national flag. In July of 1919, the Allied powers ordered
Estonia to transfer the HF-30 over to the White Army of General Yudenitch.
