Biber- From photos of Dr.I 152/17 taken at the Berlin Zeughaus Museum (see Imrie's Triplane photo #154), the rudder was repaired, but the peeling paint on the starboard fuselage cross panel was left as is. The rudder in the Museum photos appears to have a dark outline, which is not present on the pre-Museum photo Imrie #153 shown at the bottom of Dave Watts' multi-photo post here. I have an original postcard of 152/17 from the Museum, but it is head-on so neither feature discussed can be distuinguished. That postcard is also printed on page 181 of Leaman's Dr.I book.
