This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Charles,
They were OD not blue.
According to Ben Drew's book "The Katzemjammer Ace" the date of the photo was 26th July 1944.
Unfortunately Lou IV/Athelene was destroyed 2 weeks later on the 12th August 1944 with the extremely sad loss of Colonel Christian.
Best regards
Jason

Sorry, I was trying not to be controversial about the color, although I lean toward OD or RAF Green. I was also merely pointing out what others have observed about the apparent differeing shades of OD or RAF Green appearing on Lou IV. Once observed, I have to concur.
The color controversy is hardly over! There is a fairly intence discussion over on the IPMS Stockholm site. Excellent arguments from both sides of Blue or Green question.
