Friedrich...........I am in not in a position to argue with you about this,as I was not around during the years 1943-44 to witness the said aircraft for myself,and I'm sure the red maple leaf was the most popular emblem with the Canadians.
However,this was my thread,that I started,and the pictures given were how I would like my choice of Johnny Johnson's skin depicted,with a green maple leaf,and at the end of the day that's all it is,an aircraft skin for a PC simulator.
I do not want to rewrite history here,and yes your information is useful,no one is denying that,but I rather think your taking this far too literally friend.
This forum is for requesting skins,and all I am doing here is just that,requesting a Spitfire skin as the pictures depict.....simples :)
