Re: Hs 123 camouflage diagram
We are all-too-familiar with the simple - and proven wrong - assumption that many Luftwaffe aircraft, particularly on the eastern Front, were in a single green. So doubt that this was the case for the Hs123 is entirely understandable, particularly in the lack of good clear photos of the type. Why should it be true?
Is it true that all types out of production before the introduction of the 70/71 scheme never received this scheme? This does sound like a possible mechanism by which the apparently unique colour scheme of a single green could have been created. I suspect that some aircraft, such as the Fw56 perhaps, will disprove this, but I'm unsure of its production run.
