Langdon:
I am not being a smart ass when I ask you this question, first I don't want an opinion, I want straight skinny, What color were the cross fields painted on Fok.DR.I 425/17 that are held in the Australia War Museum?
This I am most curious about. What I understand you to say is, "The first modfication to the crossfields to comply with the Idflieg order to paint out the crossfields leaving only a 5cm white border surrounding the Iron Cross. (Before the 17 March 1918 order to change the cross form to the Balken cross.)" Can you substantiate your answer?
Blue skies,
