In 1943 JG 1 had a checkerboard or a B/W striping on their Fw 190s - until it was realized that the Allies were using a similar pattern on their P-47s and flak units couldn't tell the difference. Don't know off the top of my head if any were shot down but it did demand a change of markings for the Jagdgeschwader.
