Re: RAF Fighter Camouflage Change
The Germans captured a number of aircraft and flew them to test maneuverability, among other things. They were very careful in terms of evaluation.
They were also careful about building aircraft replicas and placing them on false airfields. They used supports to raise them to the correct height above the ground. So when RAF photo analysts observed shadows cast by these aircraft, they matched the shadows cast by actual aircraft.
