If they were painted at all, it was mostly olive drab, a type of dark green. By that point in the war many were unpainted aluminum, with only insignia and squadron markings painted on.

But on the morning of June 6 all Allied aircraft had a type of new paint job. These were "invasion stripes" - three broad white stripes around each wing and the fuselage, between the cockpit and the tail. This was so Allied aircraft could easily be identified. But there were very few enemy aircraft operating near the invasion beaches that day.

Did the battle of Britain help to shorten the war for the victorious side..how?

Certainly the victory of the Brits in the Battle of Britain turned the war around so the Allied Forces could have victory. Think about it. They had nearly destroyed all the Luftwaffe planes Hitler was not going to use for Operation Barbarossa. But, that did not matter. The Russians took care of the rest of the Luftwaffe. By the time the Allied Forces started fighting in the East and the West at the same time the Luftwaffe was a joke. They had less than a hundred planes by then. Their jets were a joke too because they were bad planes as far as aerodynamics and the pilots did not know how to fly the new jets.
