===Camouflage=== [[File:Fokker D VII.jpg|thumb|left|A [[Fokker D.VII]] shows a four-color lozenge camouflage]] {{Main|Lozenge camouflage}} During the [[World War I|First World War]], the [[Germany|Germans]] developed [[lozenge camouflage]] (German: {{lang|de|Lozenge-Tarnung}}).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwiaviation.com/lozenge.html |title=German Lozenge {{notatypo|Camoflage}} |website=Wwiaviation.com |access-date=2015-08-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306071242/http://www.wwiaviation.com/lozenge.html|archive-date=6 March 2016}}</ref> This camouflage was made up of colored [[polygon]]s of four or five colors. The repeating patterns often used irregular four-, five- and six-sided polygons, but some contained regular rhombi or hexagons. Because painting such a pattern was very time-consuming, and the paint added considerably to the weight of the aircraft, the pattern was printed on fabric. This pre-printed fabric was used from 1916 until the end of the war, in various forms and colours.
