| I bet! I've seen the book, a few years ago, but couldn't get hold of a copy. Got a couple of Merrick's other works, which are very comprehensive, and good stuff. |

| Yep, I agree! I've got his 'German Aircraft Interiors 1939-45 Vol.1' here, which is great for details. You wouldn't know by chance if he ever put out the proposed Volumes 2 and 3 of this work, woud you? I'd love to get them. Evan (sorry, clashed with Wayne!) |

| Terry in asking around I do not think you are totally off about the color there maybe.It does appear that over time the paint changed color due to operation to possibily to an orange/amber.This is a comment in relation to a plane it appears seen in person These lines were indeed red, at least in some cases. The preserved (rather than restored) DB 605B engine on display at the NASM shows some ancilliary lines on the rear and underside that are definitely red... Some sections seem to have faded to an orange/amber colour, either by exposure to heat or sunlight along the way

| Ah, interesting stuff Kevin. so what I remember seing in that old Signal magazine was possibly the colour after the effect of heat. Evan, I haven't seen any ads for those books, but then, it's a while since I looked at aviation book ads - too frightened I might spend too much!! |
