Re: Liberators and invasion stripes

Hi Ross,
Liberators were not wearing the invasion stripes - I am pretty sure as I was doing the research for my book about WOP with 311 Sq.

I have a translation about the order on which types of planes the strips will be painted and there were two mains aspects:
1. the planes must operate directly in the landing area - it was not case of 311 Sq
2. they were not used on 4 engine planes as the Luftwaffe was not operating such planes anyway.

Hope this helps a little as I am away from my sources to give you more exact reply

Pavel
