The first SPAD XIIIs were finished in the yellow scheme. When camouflage
was introduced, the various manufacturers took to painitng them in various
five colour patterns. Each company had its own version, and it is possible
to tell which company built the aircraft by the pattern as applied to
the fuselage and also by the location of the black 'footprint' on the
starboard wing. Some of my earlier profiles are labelled as having speculative
patterns prior to my locating complete versions upon which to base artwork.
The three patterns seen below represent my current understanding of the
patterns as used by Bernard, Bleriot and Kellner.
