Re: Yellow rudder on Oblt Werner Bartels Bf109E-1 of Stab III./JG26 (26th July 1940)
I don't know about the rudder, but regarding the camoflage, if the report had stated "Grey" I believe it could well have been a regular 02/71 scheme that looked kind of greyish, but "Airforce blue" sounds to me like there was really some kind of non regular grey scheme involved, especially since colorphotos from mid august shows grey colors on at least two other III./JG26 aircraft.
I've seen a theory somewhere that the yellow rudder had something to do with fast I.D. of a gruppenstab aircraft but I can't recall where. Cheers! / Anders
