Dumas Walnut Scale Pfalz DIII. Fictitious paint scheme based on one that was yellow and white. If there wasn't one like it, there should have been. It had a poor rate of climb, poor top speed, and poor maneuverability. It could, however, dive at high speed without shedding its wings, meaning a pilot could save his ass by diving to get away, a most useful asset. Because it could dive so well, they were used to attack observation balloons.
