incredible photo from the movie "Blue Max" of the German planes and that interesting painted pattern, which I just learned were vegetable dyes onto the plane fabric to save weight instead of painting.

Warren said this is the lozenge scheme on Fokker D7's

Thanks Rob!

    A Fokker DR 1 and some Fokker D7's
    The paint is a lozenge scheme.

    The DR. 1 would never have that lozenge fabric. The D VII would. It was printed onto the fabric with vegetable dye to save weight and paint. This picture is from the 1966 film "The Blue Max".
