The Aerodrome Forum - View Single Post - German Wing lozenge: Chord-wise, Length-wise, Diagonal?

Hello all,

Thanks to the many knowledgable forumites the various types of lozenge used on different German aircraft have been well explained and documented. However I had always assumed that the application of the strips of printed cloth on the wings would invariably be front to rear, ie from leading wing edge to trailing edge, so viewed from above it might look like this: I I I I I I
Apparently that was not always the case, from other threads on this forum I understand sometimes the cloth might be applied length-wise, and sometimes even diagonally. So I was wondering which aircraft types had which style of wing covering, and if diagonal, was it to the left \ \ \ \ \, or to the right / / / / / ? At 45 degrees, or just slighty angled?
I'd be most grateful for any help to clear my doubts.
