WF2- Udet flew at least three Dr.Is with JG I. One with Jasta 11 before he came to Jasta 4 as commander, and two with Jasta 4. The aircraft Dan-San refers to was heavily damaged when its Oberursel Ur.II came apart in flight and effectively destroyed the whole front end of the aircraft.
The color scheme of the damaged aircraft with the stripes, believed to be 586/17, is well covered in other threads, as you have seen. An aerial photo of Udet's Jasta 11 Dr.I shows white chevrons on the horizontal stabilzer like many of his other aircraft. One of MvR's red Dr.Is is visible in this shot as well. It is contained in a German book by author Jorg Muckler.
Do not be afraid to bring up anything here on the Forum. We all develop pretty thick skins over our particular pet rocks.
