There's a multi-view color profile of Lothar von Richthofen's Fokker D.VII in August 1918, from Kagero's Richthofen's Eleven, Jasta 11, by Andre R. Zbiegniewski.
The plane has a yellow upper wing surface (top wing), red nose, decking, struts, landing gear, axle foil, and wheel covers. The rest of the fuselage and the upper tail surface is yellow also, except for the standard white field on the rudder. The rest of the wings and the bottom of the tail are 5-color lozenge camo fabric.

VikS, I believe Ypres was substantially in ruins by 1917-18 (?) (print out of copyright protection circa 1919)

Yep... I would love to buy these postcards in full resolution (and send them to GT), but they are too expensives (19.8 Euros for 3 pictures)... so I'm afraid GT can only get them in reduced resolutions.
nono, its quite enough to get architecture style/filling in the cityes even in these small pictures And thank you! I'm in the process to scan old 1900 pictures for GT, with lots of pictures of 2 villages (Challerange and Grandpre)... but they are in the Ardennes theater, near Suippes, Mourmelon and the Argonne river... so don't fit actual Viks request.
And thank you again!

VikS, The village of Vimy was largely in ruins circa 1917: The German-occupied lines on Vimy Ridge were heavily bombarded during the war, and many/most of the towns in the battle area were devastated. Do you want photos of the ruined towns and trenches along Vimy Ridge (and Messines Ridge)?

Perhaps two pics for generic small railway stations: And one pic for a generic german hospital base: P.S. Make "show image", as the pics are sometimes not entirely shown on the forum page.
