Hello,

I know of no green Albatros flown by Allmenröder. In March 1917 Ltn Lübbert described Allmenröder's plane as "field gray." In late April Allmenröder began flying 629/17, and photographs show the entire fuselage was washed in a dark color, likely red, with a white front cowl, spinner, and elevators.

That I am not familiar with a green Allmenröder Albatros and have never heard of such a machine does not mean there wasn't one, mind you. Perhaps it has eluded me. What is the source of the green Alb description?
