Badger Stripes? Oddball, is that the current name?
These are backwards and do not appear to be proportional to the aircraft.
Invasion stripes were alternating white and black bands painted on the fuselages and wings of World War II Allied aircraft, for the purpose of increased recognition by friendly forces. The first use was for the Normandy Landings. The ground crews had only a few hours notice and were frantically painting their aircraft.
The bands, consisting of three white and two black bands, wrapped around the rear of an aircraft fuselage just in front of the empennage and from front to back around both the upper and lower surfaces of the wings.
On single-engined aircraft each stripe was to be 18 inches (460 mm) wide, placed 6 inches (150 mm) inboard of the roundels on the wings and 18 inches (460 mm) forward of the leading edge of the tailplane on the fuselage. National markings and serial number were not to be obliterated.
On twin-engined aircraft the stripes were 24 inches (610 mm) wide, placed 24 inches (610 mm) outboard of the engine nacelles on the wings, and 18 inches (460 mm) forward of the leading edge of the tailplane around the fuselage.
