An example of the color on a B-17G.
This machine served also in Africa and some people say it had a special 'afro camo'. I have never heard about such a scheme.
So is it something special or it used to be Olive Drab once too?
In North Africa the USAAF used Specification 14057-A/C- Bulletin 48 May 1942 Sand 26 (FS 34133) or HQ Northwest African Air Forces March 1943 Sand No.3 (FS 30277) for camouflage. Sand 26 is a pinkish buff, Sand No.3 greyish.
Were those colors used in a factory or were they later painted over OD in Africa?In North Africa the USAAF used Specification 14057-A/C- Bulletin 48 May 1942 Sand 26 (FS 34133) or HQ Northwest African Air Forces March 1943 Sand No.3 (FS 30277) for camouflage. Sand 26 is a pinkish buff, Sand No.3 greyish.
