Another gem, really detailed: "The probabilty of visual detection of reconnaissance aircraft by ground observer".
http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_me...006/RM4562.pdf Sadly it is only for altitude from 500feet to 10k feet. But there are interesting data about effect of altitude, luminance ect...

 A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
