To had a little more confusion

French reports on captured aircraft:

E III 210/16 shot down 8 april 1916 near Renescure
E III 1916 shot down 15 april 1916 near Courmelois
E I 327/15 forced to land 20 october 1916 at Plessis-Belleville, etc...

states that the linen color was "generally" beige.

Now, we do have quite a bit of original samples from diff. aircraft (camouflaged and clear dopped) and most of them can be called beige, but what a difference in hue :-/

So what kind of beige were they talking about ???

Regards
