Bell D. Squadron/Signal Publications 6150: Air Force Colors. Volume 1, 1926-1942

Squadron/Signal Publications, 1995. — 97 p. — ISBN: 0897473167.This book begins a study of US Military aircraft color schemes from 1926 to the 1980s. The early years, from the post-WWI formation of the Army Air Corps to the establishment of a separate U.S. Air Force, were marked by phenomenal growth and development in all areas of aviation — all of which was reflected in changing markings and colors. A great deal has been written about this period elsewhere, but a brief overview may help the reader place details in their histori­cal perspective.
