Re: photographs of crashed Do17 U5+DA on ebay.
Hi Larry,
You are correct. I was relying on memory and confused the two - correction noted above. Generally, green 25 and red 23 have the same grey tone in panchromatic prints and hence appear lighter than 70 and 71. The images of this aircraft reveal a rather dark band and letter 'A', which would confirm the use of blue. However, I believe that in rare cases green 25 was used for Kampfgeschwaderstab aircraft for whatever reasons. I checked Balke and see (Band I, p.457) that this aircraft made a notlandung "bei Rehlingen" with 40% damage, but is dated the 19th. Unfortunately, he lists no information on the aircraft's complete code, werknummer and crew. Cheers, David
