The following values exist: 5 c black and red, 10 c red, 25 c grey and red, 50 c blue and red, 1 Fr green and red, 3 Fr brown and red and 20 F lilac and red.
Examples (all of them issued in 1913):
'Sweiz Flugpost Start Aarau', 'Flugspende Basler Flugtage', 'Flugspende Bern', 'Flugspende Langnau', 'Erste Flugpost Burgdorf Bern', 'Herisauer Flugtag', 'Flugtag in Liestal', 'Lugano Pro Aviazone Nazionale' and 'Solothurner Flugpost' (as far as I know, all the labels presented here are genuine):
Forgeries: I know that the 'Langnau' label has been forged by a forger from Hialeah Florida; large numbers of these forgeries are offered on Ebay.

I have been told that the following stamps are essays for Switzerland:

1870 Red Cross label, inscription 'COMITÉ INTERNATIONAL GENÈVE':
This label was a postage free stamp.
I have often seen the following label for the 'EXPOSITION NATIONALE SUISSE' in Geneva 1896:
