I've seen one source that says the three Fokker F.I's (including
Voss's 103/17) were done in this silver/blue scheme. I'm kinda
sceptical myself but if Ray Rimmel says this, it's certainly worthy
of very serious consideration. He gets things right much more
often than he gets 'em wrong. However, I would be interested
in knowing *why* these three (or 'few') a/c used a paint scheme
completely different from anything Fokker used before or after.
I'd be less sceptical if I had a logical answer to this.

Cheers, Bill
