FW 190 at War Part I - Góralczyk Maciej, Światłoń Janusz

The first camouflage scheme officially specified for the Fw 190 A series consisted of RLM 74 Graugrun (or Dunkelgrau Grunlich as it was identified in the ''Handbuch der Lackierbetriebe'') and RLM 75 Grauviolett (or Mittelgrau, respectively) in a segmented pattern on the uppersurfaces and RLM 76 Lichtblau on the undersurfaces. This camouflage for all fighters was specified in the November 1941 issue of Luftwaffen Dienstvorschrift (L.Dv.) 521/1 and HM-Anweisung No. 7/42 of 18 May 1942.
