Re: Kdo. Nowotny markings : STOP THE MYTH !

Hi Nick, it's pretty sure that there was different camouflages since the airplanes came from different factories.
What is pretty sure also is that none of them got any yellow fuselage band and that the famous wooden tail fin with "snake" camouflage was not the rule but the exception if not absent.

I just found a good picture from one of this wooden tail fin and rudder, and strangely there is not any navigation light visible. Could this be the explanation to why it was mostly, if not only, delivered to training or experimental units but not to combat units, last few weeks of war excepted?
