Speaking From Memory...
As I recall sir, the very first guy to sport a red color scheme on his aircraft was a Frenchman flying in the Verdun area. Sorry, without my reference books that's the best I can do right now. VR, Scott Price

French Red Flyer
Dear Willi, The Frenchman who flew the red Nieuport bebe during the Verdun campaign in 1916 was
Jean Navarre. His plane sported a red fuselage with tannish wings and tail fins. There is a decent water color painting of this plane on page 65 in Joseph A. Phelan's Aeroplanes and Flyers of the First World War. This book was published by Grosset & Dunlap Publishers in New York back in 1973. ScottOoooops!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't see your earlier post. Sorry. Last edited by Roadhog; 8 August 2007 at 11:09 PM. Reason: Too much cough syrup. |
