Re: RAF colors for MTO

US Olive Drab uppersurfaces. These Lend-Lease aircraft were not repainted before service. There was considerable variety in the precise shades of OD used, sometimes on the same individual aircraft (notably C-47s and B-17s, with significant subcontracting of parts). Some of the OD paints used are known to fade to a brown.
