Hugh,
an excellent point made about what pilots percieved, or maybe ghost writers did. But that episode, other that Mcaffery embellishing it without checking sources, proves only that BB 'thought' it was MvR. and he was apparently wrong, since MvR didnt fly that day....
im sure you'll agree, that many pilots, when seeing a grandish colored German scout, or even a splash of Red, thought it was Richthofen himself.
as to color of his Nieport, what are the references to that it was changed? i think there was a passage in his book that they painted it for him, due to his sucess, but im not sure if the date is mentioned....
