1941-42 target towing colourscheme on a Martin Maryland aircraft.

Aircraft used for the towing of gunnery targets were painted on the undersides with yellow and black diagonal stripes,many aircraft deemed unsuitable for other operations were often relegated to the role of 'Target tug' where performance was not of the paramount importance.
Some examples of target tug aoircraft were seen with all trainer yellow undersides.
