[QUOTE="emilioteles, post: 1684841, member: 3144"] Ground Crew applying "Invasion Stripes" to a Martin Marauder B-26 of 553rd Bomb. Squadron, 386 Bomb. Group at Great Dunmow air base in Essex, England sometime between the 3rd and the 5th of June 1944. In the background is the Marauder 131577 AN-Y "Elmer" (which crash landed in France 31st July 1944). (Source: 'Life Magazine') The stripes were added for the purpose of increased recognition by friendly forces during and after the Normandy Landings. Orders were given to apply the "invasion stripes" as of the evening of June 3rd 1944. The invasion was originally scheduled for the 5th. The specification for the stripes was laid down by SHAEF in 'Operational Memorandum 23' as early as April 18th 1944. "Upper and lower wing surfaces of the aircraft will be painted from the engine nacelles outward with five white and black stripes, each twenty-four inches wide, arranged in order from centre outward: white, black, white, black, white. Fuselages will be painted with five parallel white and black stripes, each twenty-four inches wide, completely around the fuselage, with the outside edge of the rearmost band eighteen inches from the leading edge of the tailplane." There is plenty of evidence of the somewhat haphazard application of the stripes on aircraft in the field.
