An enemy aircraft at a distance closer than four metres will definitely stand out against the background, but for a more obvious reason

Not the case according to real WWII pilots I talked to.

According to them, and I have seen this written in other accounts, the big difference between experienced pilots and rookies, was the ability to focus the eye on several different distances on the same patch of sky when scanning for enemy aircraft. This was a learned skill. A enemy aircraft at a given distance might be missed by the rookie who was focusing only at one particular distance.
