Why are aircraft painted and given markings? Basically, to protect the airframe against corrosion, assist in concealment from an enemy and provide some form of national or unit identity. Markings wore the first to appear, followed by camouflage. Most of the color schemes have been the result of particular requirements such as for aircraft operating over certain types of terrain like the jungle or over the sea, or for special rules. Given today's modern, high-performance combat aircraft, it would perhaps be logical to think that there is no real need for camouflage. After all, missiles are fired at targets beyond visual range, and with long distance radars it is generally accepted that the day of the close-conflict dogfight is now past. That may be so, but at low level, under the radar, a fast moving aircraft will need all the protection it can get if it is to reach its target, deliver its weapons and escape undetected.
Each illustration in this book has been selected to show how the markings and colour schemes have evolved and how they were influenced by the aircraft's military role and mission capability.
