The colourful unit and personal markings applied to the various Albatros fighters of Royal Prussian Jasta 5 have attracted more than their fair share of debate over the years and, while we have been as meticulous as we could be, I'm sure some will not find our choices to their liking. Albatros D.V/D.Va fuselages were usually clear varnished resulting in a yellowish plywood colour. The fabric covered wings and tailplane were finished in either of 2 ways, painted with green and mauve/lilac on top and light blue below or covered in pre-printed lozenge camouflage fabric, some of which was almost certainly overpainted with a transparent (brown?) glaze to tone down the vibrant colours. Metal fittings were painted in pale grey-green, as was much of the engine bay. Exterior metal panels and fittings were usually painted in this same pale grey-green colour although some were clearly finished in a darker colour. There was considerable freedom for German units to apply their own colour schemes to their aircraft with some using drab camouflage paints, usually applied with a "loofah" type sponge, while others preferred highly visible colours to aid identification at a distance. Additionally individual pilot"s markings were also applied in a fashion dictated by the unit commander.
