Disruptiove camo works in odd ways sometimes. In World War 2 they did try
covering the leading edges of Catalina wings with spotlights, which were lit
(By photo cell) to the same intensity as the background sky. Worked a trreat
as well...Voila! 60 year oold stealth!

...as those applied to the Backfire and Fencer? I know of
anti-radiation white applied to the underside of nuclear bombers, but
the reason of white leading edges on the Su-24 escaps me - seems
'anti'camouflage. Perhaps it helps in disguising the shape of the
'incoming' from visible/IR sensors on the ground? Thanks in advance
for any explanation.
