Allied stripes?? I haven't heard of those....

There are hundreds of Spitfire photos on the web, There are dozens of excellent books out as well most have all have photos, some have color plates and line drawings as well. One of the best references for Spit fans is the one by Morgan and Shaklady. Alfred Price put out a number of books as well. You can get them from Amazon...

Don't forget www.airliners.net for pics. lots out there..

I thought they were called 'invasion stripes' as they appeared on planes on 'D' day..
