Re: RLM 64 and the Junkers Ju 52???

I believe the comment that many known Luftwaffe schemes are not to be found in RLM technical orders is correct. It is certainly difficult to otherwise explain such schemes as seen on as KG100's He 177s, to name but three examples. I suspect that the authors you quote would agree. However several of them are more known for their technical and/or operational knowledge than for their detailed study of camouflage schemes: on the evidence of the work I've seen I'd personally not trust at least one of them on colours. (Other matters, clearly yes.)

If you've any books I haven't, do send them. But I suspect I have all Ken Merrick's.
