Indeed Franck,
A chilling and mind boggling camouflage... Another of the Erla weirdnesses or a unit level improvisation? Thanks Marc |
Re: eBay: one "Gelbe 10"; 3./JG 53
Hi Marc,
Interesting your question: I think it was done at unit level; but am I that sure? Boogie woogie symphony in E! Talking about that ... During the 70s USAF did run experiments on camouflage which were pretty close to these JG 53 impro. Cheers, Franck. |

One of the experimental JG53 schemes circa October 1939. :)

Yes Clint indeed, but this Gelbe 10 very scheme is rare; was it done at unit's level? Or in factory?...
Who took - authority - the decision to make these trials? Do we know that through documents? |
Re: eBay: one "Gelbe 10"; 3./JG 53
Unit level with nearly every aircraft being slightly different. So many strange and wonderful variations are to be seen. I have no idea who authorised the trials or even if they were trials but with so many instances of these schemes across the whole Geschwader they must have been up to something at the time...?
Here's one being applied: Asisbiz |

Excellent evidence, Clint! Many thanks
