I've seen several combat reports in which Allied aircrew report seeing German aircraft with upper wings "....covered with red crosses...." Has anyone seen photographic evidence of this? Can it be a mis-interpretation of lozenge camo ?

My current painting project mentions such an airplane and I would love to paint this wild scheme - but it begs the question of accuracy of the combat reports.

Anyone have more information on this that might help me get it right ?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
