Since the location of aerodromes was common knowledge hiding aircraft with camouflage was a low priority. Lozenge camouflage did work. it broke up the outline of an aircraft and dazzled the eye making it hard to focus on a target.<br /><br />I am surprised there were so many WWI ground attack aircraft with camouflage patterns. For me it is a great thing that there is so much variation. It allows me a chance to make eye jarring profiles. My next series of posts will be more German ground attack planes. I think they will be of interest.<br /><br />I find it interesting that German aircraft are more popular than those flown by French, British and American forces.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />WillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744800442634708263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013909801988779086.post-80953264388244225842011-11-21T18:14:48.358-06:002011-11-21T18:14:48.358-06:00I find it interesting in the colors used by all ai...I find it interesting in the colors used by all aircraft in general and ground attack aircraft in particular. The Halberstadt CL.II Schlasta 21 sn 5 speckled pattern would look normal on a ground attack aircraft in World War II, but I can only assume that the white tail and lozenge pattern would make the aircraft stand out.<br /><br />As always, these look great.Jon Yuenglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140492307166591621noreply@blogger.com
