Yes, that's's logical, Cody but,
that upper wing striped pattern is so similar to his well known D.III's one,
when he was first commissioned CO of Jasta 27...
(far right on the foreground)
count on this his well known vanity and you'll assume the plane has to be his own.
Now that I see his D.III again with the Buddecke site pic in mind, I can tell that a colour should be painted as well between the white lines,
as I can't see the factory camo in between...particularly on the left side where the under-imposed colour is the Venetian Red.
What this mystery colour would be... Olham?
He was a Bavarian, could it be Bavarian Blue?
Do you think I'm seeing ghosts?
P.S. We posted at the same time as it seems...Olham.
