Historical use of the Sky Blue (Duck Egg Blue) color

This shade was widely used by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1940, especially as the color for the undersides of fighter aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, and De Havilland Mosquito. The purpose of this color was to camouflage aircraft during flights over British territory during the Battle of Britain and, later, in World War II. It is worth noting that the paint was also used on other types of RAF aircraft – both fighters and bombers.
