[b] Does anyone know if the subject of colors and finish of the E.V and D.VIII wing were part of the correspondence between Reinhold Platz and Mr. Swearingen, when Mr. Swearingen was building his reproduction?
I'm on the road right now, but I still have an article from the Chicago Tribune magazine, in 1969, about Ed Swearingen's reproduction. I was in High School at the time, and our family doctor actually helped translate some of the correspondence with Herr Platz. I'll have to dig out the article when I get home.

As I remember, the wing was solid olive green.
