LOL - I found the answer to my own question...
"After the Battle of Punta Stilo in the late summer of 1940, (when Italian warships came under attack from their own air forces), all Italian warships recieved oblique red and white stripes painted on the forecastie forward of the breakwater as a recognition marking for "friendly" aircraft. Some ships also had these stripes painted on the after deck. Shipboard biplanes had their top wings painted this way also. The angle of the stripes was either 45 degrees or, (more often), 60 degrees to the axis of the ship. This marking system was in use through the end of 1943." This info is from the Ship Modelling Mailing List website, specifically "A First Attempt at Italian Camouflage and Painting Systems" by Falk Pletcher. Pretty interesting stuff... |

Michal -- Your Roma is more beautiful and more impressive with each posting.
Ron -- Many thanks for this information and for this website. I'm glad to have this explanation for the red and white stripes on Italian warships and to have another source of warship camouflage information. Don B. |
