[WWI] AH early markings

[Steve Cox]

There¹s one photo of a Fokker B? In the Austro-Hungarian Army Aircraft of
WW1 which shows W-R-W on the wings, the rudder split horizontally white at
top, red bottom, and the elevators red outers, white to center, to give
R-W-R overall.
( all assuming my interpretation of a b/w photo is correct)

The same book also depicts Hefty's Fokker B.I as white-red-white.  Since
yours is also a Fokker, there seems to be some consistency with certain
manufacturers.

OK...back from vacation and ready to start the Eduard Fokker Eindecker. I
want to do an AH  A III. There is a cool photo on P. 37 of the Osprey AH
Aces of WW I. It shows 2 being transported with the wings disassembled and
strapped to the side of the fuselage. The planes are using the early red
white wing bands instead of the iron crosses on the wing. Usually the scheme
was Red-White-Red. In the photo, however, it looks like White-Red-White. I
found some photos of other early AH planes that go Red-White, starting at
either the wing tip or close to it. Anyone have any ideas on what it should
be? I can't seem to find any other photos showing the Fokkers in this
scheme.
Thanks.
