When I was a kid I was heavily into modeling. Most of my school projects included some kind of model in a diorama. One that I built was a B-24 Liberator. I basically copied the box art. It was a picture of the crew dismantling the plane and painting it white with red and black poke-a-dots. The story attached to it was that because of the weather conditions over Europe there were a bunch of mid-air collisions and to avoid this they stated to paint the planes for better visibility. I got an A++. I ROCK. LOL
Anyway I'm much older now and last year I stumbled across this photo and posted it on another site and it sparked a decent discussion but for the life of me can't remember. As an adult and knowing what I know about aircraft and WWII the reason for the paint scheme dosen't make sense.
Does anyone know the real story behind these aircraft or have any other photos? I think this would make a great model.
