Default Colorful F-16

No, the tail is not right for the post WW I time period.

United States Army aircraft had tail stripes standardized with the blue
stripe closest to the rudder post, followed by white in the center and red
at the trailing edge. In 1926 this was changed to a single blue stripe 1/3
of the rudder chord in width with 13 alternating red and white stripes (7
red, 6 white), as used on the flaps of the F-16.
