Re: Jasta question
Huuuhhh- a week ago I have tryed to manage one folder with German WW1 airplanes but failed as well there are so many material and worst at all most material dispered over the whole hard drive. But for sure I remember that I have somewhere data from Idflieg document about the tail recongition. This is as I know from early 1917 and in that time they give directive to switch from brown/green camouflage to the purple/green camouflage to avoid confusion with enemy aircrafts and this unit matkings are part of the large amount of directives.
They also manages some special works like the aircraft for the pilots. For excample last aircraft flown by manfred von Richhofen were possibly specialy painted red as well on the excamined fabric was not found traces of the streaky camouflage but only coats of protective dope and blue color as well topside red. And this was made in factory possibly...
Will try to find it and post it here but I can not promise that this will be done fast.
