I came across this picture on the net, and I dont think Ive seen this camo pattern before. Does anyone have more info?
What's the story behind this?

Seems like a fair bit of info on it there.
And some artwork of it.

Interesting to see how the colorised picture differs from the artwork:

Both are interpetations of the BW photo's and witness accounts. I wonder which one is most accurate.

Im thinking a mix of the 2. Colorized photos tend to be a few shades off. Also it looks like the tan is RLM 79 in the colorized photo, but eyewitness accounts all say it wasnt RLM 79.

It's a G-8 recon bird from 2/NAGR.12 operating from the Balkans in 1943-44... Tan over RLM 76 is correct...
