Re: Blue on Blue footage (US x RAF Mosquito?)
Faenor. The red-white recognition stripes were marked on in 1944 by 60 Sqn. SAAF ( yellow spinners) and 680 RAF (red ) Mk.XVIs. in Italy. The black-white bands were for Operation Dragoon in S. France.

Quote:
these re/white stripes was reaction on attact from US fighter to PR Mossies - to show them, that they are friends and not Me 210/410 - you can imagine, that these stripes are not standard luftwaffe marking and from rear view can be visible fro attacker. And MTO mean Mediterranean Theater of Operations - somethink like ETO for Europe, PTO for Pacific - so Italy is there too :-) Faenor
