Hey All,
Could someone point me to a good reference on the color of USN carrier flight decks in 1942? All I could think of was the old Floating Drydock "Camouflage 2," which says that a blue stain was introduced early in 1942 but that there may have been a number of variations before "Blue Flight Deck Stain (No. 21)" was issued in 1943.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
