Bigbird

B25 - Mitchell

I think that the Recognition stripes on this bird show that this picture was taken after D-day ?

I will stand corrected if Im wrong
Thats right mate but the stripes were different before the landings and afterwards. They were changed to stop German aircraft copying them (I think)

Like these

Before =

After =
afterdday0zs.jpg


So if our information is right ? then you are right Bigbird solthum
 
I cant seem to find much info about this subject ? , and im doubting the validity of the information the more I search the internet . Anybody know anything about this ?
 
A copy of the official 1944 description of the special D-Day aircraft markings
