Looks weird with wheels.
Nice shots!
OS2U near NAS San Diego, 30 August 1945:
Scanned from a badly degraded color transparency (80-GK-6265) at the National Archives, College Park.
While much of the original color has been "restored" via PhotoShop, the color scheme of this aircraft is somewhat of a mystery. While the vertical tail seems to be Intermediate Blue, the rest of the aircraft seems to be painted Glossy Sea Blue. The three yellow wing stripes may be repeated on the left wing, but there's no indication of the stripes' purpose...
Cheers,
Dana

It asstonishes me that ANYONE (other than Vought) would think they had the authority to copyright these drawings...

Where have you read that about the copyright? The seller i mean.
Hi Snautzer,
I wasn't referring to the seller, but to the copyright notification at the top of most of the drawings. It's bogus, since the folks claiming copyright were neither the creators nor the purchasers of the original rights. The seller is perfectly OK selling the drawings in this case, and you're perfectly fine - and much appreciated - posting the drawings here.
Cheers,
Dana
Why is there a disc on the right wing? Have they painted out the star or not painted it on yet?

Whether with wheels or floats, the Kingfisher is beautiful by any standard. I saw one in Palm Springs in 1998. It was on loan from the NASM.
