See Richthofen by A.E.Ferko. The idea that Dr.I 425/17 was painted at the factory was espoused by Mr. Ferko. His comments that he "glassed" original images (probably a jeweler's loop) and he could see the factory stencils as being overpainted. Also the idea that Dr.I 425/17 was not originally streaked but CDL also came from this same study. These images were published in the same reference and the pilot's left side is scared and chipped. This reveals only the clear doped linen underneath. Dan believes these images to be Dr.I 477/17 by the way.
