Thanks Joe. ‘Colourful’ I’m sure the answer is out there, but I wonder if the German pilots were so confident in the air, they disregarded any thought of camouflage?
(Pushes glasses up to the bridge of his nose), Well actually... Worth noting that 'camouflage' as a term wasn't widespread until about 1915. It's only us who had really DULL 'planes. All that PC10 stuff, though with lots of stripes and bands and such
I've got a feeling a white fuselage and lozenge wings wasn't enough for this pilot - I reckon he had his batman 'fetch the yellow paint'
And the Red Barron epitomises that idea. But it also makes you a big target.
A classic. However, I seem to remember from my youth, a proper WW1 aerial combat film called the Blue Max - just checked, it's real, released in 1966.
Thank you. I think there were 5 colourful options in this kit.
