If it is what I'm thinking http://www.airliners.net/open.file/506614/M/ might be a decent picture. Those indeed are invasion stripes. Invasion stripes are black & white stripes painted (in some cases hastily) parallel to the chordline on Allied aircraft before the June 1944 invasion of Normandy. The intent was to allow the easy rapid recoginition of Allied aircraft and keep them from being shot down by their own side. Blue skies at all John
