Application and Historical Context

The Sky Blue color was widely used in painting fuselages and camouflage of military aircraft, especially during World War II by the Royal Air Force (RAF), as well as the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and other Allied nations. This shade often appeared on the undersides of fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft, increasing their camouflage effectiveness during combat operations carried out between 1939 and 1945. Nowadays, Sky Blue is also used in civil modeling as well as in recreations of aircraft from the postwar and Cold War periods.
