German Naval printed fabric.
Gentlemen:
1. In April 1918, the German Naval three color printed hexagon fabric was introduced.
2. The printed colors were grey-blue, grey-violet and grey-brown. Those were the only color ever used.
3. The irregular hexagons were actually, six sided rhomboids, were 200m in height, 155mm wide and slanted 5 degrees to the right, in the warp yarn direction. The sides of the rhomboids were 100mm high.
4 The three coor printed fabric was to applied to the tops of th upper and lower wings, tops of the tailplane, fuselage and floats.
The sides of the fin, fuselage, floats and all struts were to be painted grey-blue.
The undersides of the wings, tailplane, fuslage and floats were to be painted light grey. The under sides of the wings and tailplane maybe clear doped and waterproofed natrual fabric.
5. This was the only scheme used, there was no other colors used and there was no other printed fabric colors.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
