I dont really know why late Navy planes were painted black . as a camo its horrible . over the blue sea you see a big black dot or on the sky you see the same thing in the white clouds .
But it sure looks badass..

Cammo is an interesting point. The US issued troops with mottled green cammo gear for D-Day in small numbers, but after going ashore, they were most often mistaken for Waffen SS and shot at by their own side, so it was hastily withdrawn. Cammo can be confused very easily - which is why the Luftwaffe painted great swathes of high visibility white and yellow over their intricate camouflage schemes.

Black has been identified as a high visibility colour for aeroplanes which is why RAF jet trainers are coloured that way. Obviously at night there are advantages but carrier operations weren't conducted in darkness during world war two. Considering the problems the allies had in aircraft recognition (not easy in real life as I know full well, and that was without worrying whether a live fire decision was required) the answer probably lies there. Black was easily identified as allied aircraft.

Yeah .. Probably thats the reason of black paintings
