Re: Allied Aircraft Winter Camouflage
I have also seen it argued that one of the 263 Sq aircraft was a borrowed Sea Gladiator, which would also have this high demarcation and Sky Grey undersides.
But not as a winter scheme, no.
Painting the Meteors white overall suggests that this was indeed for ID purposes, as otherwise only the uppersurfaces need be painted.
Not Allied, but possibly outside the the original poster's thought, the Japanese did use a light camouflage for aircraft on the northern islands. I don't believe that the Americans did in the Aleutians.
