I doubt if trying to hide behind big brother really works in practice. Also that is some colour scheme for the lower Liberator. I suppose it was one way of "triggering" the guilt of the enemy. Destroy a masterpiece?? Sorry, you've touched my "funny" bone. Nice presentations, as always.

Wonderful work. I'm again amazed at the planes you present. As a modeller, I'd really appreciate if you could give information about your references. TIA.

Under WWII when large numbers of bombers were going out on a mission they often started from different airfields. In this era where the radar was pretty new assemble a large fleet of heavy bombers was no small task. To solve this they came up with the idea of using special so called Assembly ships. These special Assembly ships waited on a specified height and the rest of the bomberplanes fell into formation behind it. You might say the Assembly Ships worked as flying beacons and they were colored in very bright and strong colors and often in funny looking patterns so all the other bomber crews very easily could pinpoint and fall in behind it. Often the Assembly Ships were old and/or battleworn ex-bombers given a second service life as Assemly Ships. Ones all planes were into formation the Assembly ship left and returned home, its task done, while the bomber fleet now all assembled continued on their mission.
