This is precisely what about the elimination of the red or red-brown colors in the German camouflage schemes in April 1917 by Idflieg. German pilots were shooting down German aircraft, thinking if it was brown, it must be an Allied aircraft. There is one account, I forget who it was, but some Allied pilot had to shoot down an Allied aircraft, ah,I remember, it was Nungesser,and to prevent a further occurrence, that was why he painted the tri-color stripes on the wings and fuselage of his Nieuport 17 or 25, whatever. That was a pretty airplane.8)
