After nearly ten years I have finally acquired the Fokker DVII Anthology1! 
One thing I found very interesting was the inclusion of the Multi Colored 
Wet Streaking theory for DR1s, and DVIIs ! Perhaps this was discussed years 
ago when this book was first issued? The info is interesting if not 100% 
accurate(IMHO). For instance mention is made of mixing the four Stains( 
listed for the EV) to make Olive Green, something I have seen proven to be 
wrong. As many of you know the profiles of early Fokker built DVIIs show wet 
blended Dark Olive and a Grass green to make 3 shades on the fuselage 
streaking. Just thought I would bring this up relative to Marlons DR1. It 
seems there is more credibility to these colors than I first thought. :-)
