Messerschmitt BF 109

A Messerschmitt BF 109 painted in desert camouflage flying in the Libyan Desert, 1940s. It seems the photo in question is a piece of German propaganda from that era. Like many propaganda images, it was meticulously staged for maximum impact. From what I've gathered, the camouflage paint scheme was either remarkably effective in a specific desert region or, curiously, only effective during a particular time when the shadows aligned perfectly.
