The SPAD VII was initially delivered in the French 'yellow' pattern which
had the metalwork painted to match the fabric. With the introduction of
camouflage, a few different standard patterns were used featuring either
four and five colours - beige, light green, dark green, brown and black.
When black was used it was usually on the wings and provides a distinct
'footprint' that helps to determine manufacturer as each company had separate
patterns that they used on their aircraft.
Tomasz Gronczewski and Seweryn Fleischer combined their talents to produce
an excellent book on the S.VII. this has many detailed drawings showing
interior details as well as numerous profiles.The type is also covered
in Datafile No.8.
