Ladies and Gentlemen:
What you are saying is
ernst Udet went to war flying somebodies elses airplane with their markings on it. Udet was an established Ace of note, and at this time Kirschstein has started climbing the ladder. He was not a Jastaführer at this time. Udet is Ace and a Jastaführer. All you need to do is read Udet's biography and you will find he has a large ego which is characteristic of all fighter pilots. I have never met a shy retiring fighter pilot, have you Taz? The thing I find amazing, it has occured to any of you that he repainted his triplane. He was not going to fly some one elses triplane. Study the photo, not just look at them, you will find the forward fuselage is over painted, it was not when Kirschstein had it. Look at the fuselage cross, the white border contrasts strongly with the light diagonal stripe, which is not white. You want white, look at the rudder, it's white. The top of the LO is darker than the dark stripe it crosses. RED IS NOT DARKER THAN BLACK! In order for your black and white to work you declared the LO is red!! WRONG!! The LO is black. Compare the the tops of the LO to the black cross. They are the same, if the cross is black then the LO must black! If you go back and read the article there was a period of time before he started using the triplane. This presumeably, is when it was repainted.
Blue skies,
