"The first Spitfires to reach the RAF were painted in a camouflage scheme of brown (called "Dark Earth") and dark green. The undersides were painted with one-half black, the other white, with the dividing line running from nose to tail, sometimes only the underside of one wing was painted black, leaving the fuselage underside white. The idea behind this underside colour scheme was to aid identification of RAF fighters at height through binoculars by the Royal Observer Corps (ROC) and anti-aircraft artillery."
