I noticed that most if not all of the aircraft in these photos were from Air Group 6, Torpedo 6, Bombing 6 , Scouting 6 and Fighting 6, very cool real early shots !

Agreed! They're all great photos but the color shots at the beginning
Just made my head spin the first time I researched the clors for the TBD. WHAT were they Thinking????
I've wondered about that too, but USAAC pre-war also had high visibility yellow color wings. I am making an educated guess that in the era of perhaps less reliable aircraft that it would aid in recovering downed aviators so high visibility made a lot of sense. Maybe someone with real knowledge could chime in.Just made my head spin the first time I researched the clors for the TBD. WHAT were they Thinking????
