Re: Half painted Fw 190 wing undersides - the purpose?
Seconds(just a guess for Fw 190) is try to limit the reflexion of the light when seen from the air .
This purpose is described in Ken Merrick´s book volume one. There is mention that during testing of unpainted wings there was a strong reflexion on the parked aircraft so the area around leading edge and wheel covers were painted to reduce it.
