Air panels in WW2

[bikewrench]

I'm looking for any info or photos of air panels in use by American vehicles.
What colors were they? When did they use them? etc.
I know that they were used for a while after Normandy but I'm curious how long.
I also think that the Cavalry Recon units used them longer as they were out front reconning as it were.

I know all about modern air panels so don't bother.;-)

Awesome linedoggie!
Very helpful, so how about Cavalry Recon? The same as tanks as they were mech? Even their jeeps probably?
