RAF Fighter Camouflage Change
Around mid 1941 the standard camouflage scheme for fighters changed from earth/green to grey/green.
Was that because the RAF were now regularly penetrating Europe in Sweeps etc, and so the grey/green was more effective over water? If so I find that strange, as while grey/green would be effective over water, it would (I thought) have been less effective over land.
Did the 1940/1941 Luftwaffe colour schemes (which, while varied, were on the whole grey/green) affect the RAF decision? Were they considered more effective?
And was the decision a consultative decision ie including front line pilots? Or did some mandarin in Whitehall come up with it?
