Gerrard/paint chips

Howdy, Folks:
It took me a while to dig this out, but this old issue of WINDSOCK has an interesting article concerning Colors and Markings of Pfalz D.III, 1370/17. The pilot was Vizefeldwebel Hecht of Jasta 10 and was captured after he was forced to land after an engagement with No. 35 Squadron RFC, late in December. In this Issue (of which I just have a few pages that I manage to save) included paint chips. The Methuen match for the green is “27E8” and “4B8” for yellow

Acknowledgements in this article read:
“ ...Also much thanks to Mr. Rodeny G Gerrard of Hull for original research and Information ...” page, 14. So, approach with caution!

In “von Richthofen's Flying Circus: Colours and markings of Jagdgeschwader Nr.1” the back cover includes a color profile of 1370/17, with Methuen 26F7/F8 for green. This new match was based on the original green paint from 1370/17. As for the yellow, your guess is as good as mine.

I hope the forum found this little tad of information useful?

Sincerely: Danny
