    pre-war USN camo experiment

    Just ran across some B & W photos of F2As, TBDs, SB2Us and BT-1s in a wild scheme. It was called a McLellend Barclay experimental camouflage. Found the colors and a F2A drawing on this websight: US NAVY
    Any help with the others?

    When we go into battle, we play music very loud. It kind of... calms us down."
