The iron cross and serial number on the tail was painted over with red but still was slightly visible.He transitioned to the Fokker Dr.1 triplanes and flew 3 or 4 of them in combat. One triplane was painted in the standard Green wash from the factory but had the top wing painted Red as well as the entire Tail and the engine cowl cover and wheels. This one was serial number 152/17.
