The picture is full page and pretty good quality - shows a standard
Albatros D.VII in what appears to be 4-color lozenge with the large
interlocked letters "RK" beneath the cockpit in white. Two bands
(white and red (?)) completely circle the fuselage immediately
behind the cockpit. Also, the small letters "JL" are painted in
dark paint on the top of the "R" - post capture addition?
Don't know if this is what was being sought. If so, you're welcome.
If not, sorry for butting in!
Cheers, Bill
