Messerschmitt Bf-110C Zerstörer NJG1.7 (G9+MR) 01

Photo 01: Similarly anomalous are the yellow wingtip and fuselage band on G9+MR of 7./NJG1. These cannot be easily explained but were certainly intended as some form of recognition aid as opposed to a theatre marking. It is, however, interesting to note that while some units were taking all precautions to eliminate any bright areas on their machines, even to the extent of overpainting the thin white outline to the swastikas on the tails of their aircraft, others not only retained the white of the national insignia but added large areas of white or yellow.
