Pictures of underbellies of Me-262 airfield protectors

[Soldat7128]

I read that the underbellies of prop fighters assigned to guard the airfields at which Me-262s landed and took off were painted bright red with white stripes in order to avoid being shot down by the flak batteries stationed there...does anyone have or know of a picture of one they can post (preferably in color)?

The Aircraft you are refering too belonged to JV44 and were usualy FW-190D's, this is about the only color photo i can find
