fredjocko:
Does anyone have any pictures of the top of this airplane. The red and yellow look very striking. Thank you so much

RAGIII:
This is the only one I have seen. Perhaps others have more?

Thank you. That does help.

 Pheon Decals, on their sold out Dr.I sheet, shows Pippart's fuselage with a solid yellow disc. Orthochromatic film is not sensitive to both red and yellow so they photograph dark. I can not see even the slightest demarcation line between two different colors on the photo, so it appears to be a solid color. The actual color would be just a guess.

I can "almost" see another circle but it could also be where the black was painted in a circle around the "Yellow". That being said I would question the use of a marking that would so closely match a Belgian roundel. JMHO. Bob Pearson does do diligent research as does Rowan. In the end who knows  8)
