Fighting Colours lll
By 1918 the German air arm had given up all pretence at using military style drab camouflage and individual units adopted their own, sometimes bizarre, colour schemes. Some were designed to make their opponents very aware of whom they were tackling, like the overall red of the �Red Baron�, gaining a degree of psychological advantage. Many others were unique to the background of the individual aviator reflecting, like the USAAF paint finishes on WW2 aircraft, their home area or family.
The flight of Albatros DV aircraft shown here returning to base in the evening light demonstrate some of these colourful and individual colour schemes.
Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight

This is a wonderfully imagined piece of aviation art, well executed. I love the lighting and especially the cast shadows on the fuselages of these Albatros fighters.
Pat Speirs replied:
Thanks Douglas, it's always 'fun' to match the general sky light angle with the subject - many cups of coffee needed! Your previous comments encouraged me to have a look for aircraft operational at the tail-end of WW1 - was good to find the Albatros in the Duxford archives. This example now regrettably retired from flying and house at the Shuttleworth Collection.
