Tires, what color??
Melsharkskin:
If you wish to know the precise color, look at the white on you whitewall tires. No country in WW1 had developed synthetic rubber. Germany had no access to rubber, and I am quite sure they were working on that problem. however at war's end, to my knowledge, had developed synthetic rubber. They were using regenerated rubber. Training aircraft had wooden wheels, and they had made steel tires for vehicles. The regenerated rubber tires and tubes were held for use on front aircraft. In the post-war world neoprene was the result of the German effort to develope synthetic tires. It is what we used in WWII after Japan captured south east Asia, Malayia and the Dutch East east Indies.
