Its my understanding that the first marks (I II) of the Spitfire had black noses.
Then the "official" color to be applied was the Sky-S, lasting until at least D-Day. As well, the had a Sky-S fuselage band just fore of the tail of the same color.
Then I read that squadrons stationed on the continent after D-Day changed back to black spinners and eliminated the tail band. I would assume that Spits still based in England did not do this.
Is this information correct?
