-Many of the hand coloured postcards of the day were, to use a technical term, crappy qualityeven before the colouring, so I wouldn't get too bothered about the uality of the original image. I love that you've found some really unusual subjects - what on earth is that spectacular marking on the Heinkel 51?

-The Bulgarian Heinkel appears to have more colors if these drawings are to be believed. You can see the outlines of the stripes in your photo as well.

-Many vintage black and white photo's were supplied with paints so you could colour them in yourself.
This picture for example shows my father and friend, probably Falmouth aboard the battleship HMS Anson.
My father told me that he coloured the picture in with it's supplied paints at the time.
It was something different to send home to your family before the advent of colour film.
You coloured the picture using your finger and some spit!

It all started with the search of a color picture on a Latvian pre WW2 aircraft, the one with the red swastika I mean. I found out that such picture doesn't exist. A forum member (other forum) offered to color a b&w picture for me and here is the result: (enjoy watching the past coming to life)
after seeing that I started to color b&w pictures myself.
Bulgaria with roundel used from 1937 - 1941
Italian Navy Roundel used for less then a few years
the higher the resolution the better the result but sometimes it is not possible to find a good high resolution picture so you have to do with what you find
Turkish Air Force WW1
Latvia national Guard
Piaggio P180A
Below the 3 differnet position of the roundel used by the Dutch pre 1939
Fokker C-VIII W
Dornier Do Wal
Focke Wulf 58B
and I did also some pictures not for roundel purposes, just for fun
unknown where and wenn
