CWatson,

I deliberately cropped the photo to show the streaky camouflage to greater effect, the whole photo is posted below and it shows the wing in the Schwerin factory undergoing tortional testing. This wing was almost certainly manufactured, along with all other production wings, at the Perzina works as they placed the plywood covering sheets in a different manner to the factory built experimental examples. I believe this wing to be one of the initial batch of D.VIII wings which were tested to destruction.
