[b] The five-view in the D.VIII Profile has Mr. Endsleigh Castle ARAeS "copyright" in the upper right-hand corner. The thing that bugs me is the monotonal nature of the wing in b/w photographs. I understand that ortho/monochromatic film thing, but why, when other WWI camo patterns (streak,Loz, and all the SPAD variations) stand out so well in period photos, does the D.VII look from many angles to be a solid color? Was it the nature of the stain, and that it imparted little actual color to the wood? Thanks for letting me partake, Rob

Early Fokker D7's had the streaked finish, later ones were lozenge.
It is such a stretch then to think that perhaps early Fokker Razor wings were streaked, whereas later ones were a solid color?
