Wife and I are going to drive up to Toccoa when it gets cooler, she wants to see the Camp Toccoa site since she got into Band of Brothers last month. Might swing by Clarkseville.
Small side note: my father-in-law, Korean war Master Seargeant vet, used to tell me stories of the BOB soldiers running by his house and singing in full gear. He lived an easy ten miles from Camp Toccoa. They would run up to Currahee mountain to practice rappelling. (which I also rapelled with my sons Boy Scout troop). I loved his stories of his childhood and his time in service.Well I'll be damn. That's driving distance.

Thanks!! I am definitely not disappointed so far LOL.Looks great Greg
Have mercy! Thank you. This is much more than I even hoped for. Incredibly helpful.The British had pretty uniform standards for camouflage, Greg. Here's a good example from Wings of Fame Volume I. This pattern was known as Pattern 1 and was used on single engine fighters. Early in the war the grey areas were done in Dark Earth, and in very early years of the war a mirror image of the pattern (swapped left to right) was applied on every other airframe on the production line. By the time the Mustang was in service the scheme pictured below was the standard.
Great find Greg, really dig those photos.You guys have all probably seen or know this, but I found a great article on paint colors. Not specifically answering my question, but really good info on colors. http://www.gmodelart.com/2020/04/plane-colors-and-camouflage-wwii-us.html
