Aircraft Navigation Lights

Where can I get information on civilian and military aicraft navigation light configurations. I assume they follow an agreed pattern similar to shipping to help identify the type, size and heading of an aircraft in the dark.

The rules may vary somewhat from country to country... the US no longer requires the red anti-collison light. It may be a white strobe. Additionally, although not required, most aircraft have forward facing "recognition lights". These are seperate from the landing lights. As ewood states, other lighting systems may be added as desired, as long as they are approved.
