Hello,

Can anybody tell me the color that the DFS 230 gliders used in the airborne assault on Ft. Eban Emael, Belgium on 10.5.40 were painted? There are a very light color like yellow or gray. As far as I can tell from photos these gliders carried no national or unit markings of any kind. Does anyone know different than that?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Regards,
