Hey guys, I recently picked up Squadron's "USN Camo Patterns of WWII" and it described two separate Atlantic Camo Schemes. The Usual Dark Gull Grey over Insignia White and then another one that was identical to the Pacific Tri-color scheme that I've never come across before. It subbed the Sea Blue and Intermediate Blue for Dark Gull Grey and Light Gull Grey respectively.
Even though the book mentioned it had NO pictures and my searches have come up empty. My question to you guys is have you come across any photos of Atlantic birds in that scheme? It was known as Atlantic Scheme #1 and was rare.
I'm not sure if the USN used two separate camo patterns for these areas.According to my knowledge the tri-colour scheme was used for all US Navy birds and didn't deppend on the operational theatre.
This tri-color scheme was identical to the one we all know but just used different colors. This is the first I've heard of it and due to the lack of photos within the book I'll assume it was ultra rare. Just looking for any and all info you guys may have on the subject.
You mentioned it above Dark Gull Grey and Light Gull Grey, right?
