Udet.

NO, what I said is an ace with an ego is NOT going fly someone elses airplane (aeroplane) with there markings.
It is so damned simple, he repainted it. Before you go off on a tair, study the photos the of Kirschstein DR.I, the forward fuselage was streaked camouflage. After Udet got it (same plane) the forward fuselage is over-painted.
Every machine Udet Flew after he became the Jastafüher of
Jasta 37. When Udet joined Jasta 11 on 18 March 1918, his Fok.DR.I may not have been decorated. There was no slack period during the Battle of France. The battle was still in progress when he went on medical leave. When he returned on 21 May 1918 and was made Jastaführer of Jasta 4. Jage Nr1,Richthofen had moved to airfields around Guise. During this period, they were working up for the Second Battle of the Marne which was to begin on 27 May 1918, so he had six days to get that machine repainted. There is no victory evidence until 31 May 1918.
He may or may not have flown during the period of 21 May to 30 May 1918. There as ample time to have repainted.
