Re: Blue or Blue-Gray Camouflage on Bf 109E

Very interesting! Again though, the colordescription is weird. I mean, even if all the colors were of a blueish tone, when they're three distinctly different colors (as is obvious from the photos) "All Blue" is hardly the best way to describe it.

There's a picture of an Emil in France, in color, that clearly shows a blueish grey camo - the engine cowling has been removed so the engine bearers are visible and the RLM02 there is much greener then the camocolors. In the background there's a trainer aircraft painted all RLM02 and it's also much greener than the 109.

So, grey or blueish grey certainly existed but as I said, these colordescriptions are not really ideal for solving any "mysteries"

Thanks for sharing though!
