Re: US neutral Gray

Whilst ANA602 Light Grey would seem to be the obvious candidate, the ANA colours did not appear until just before the USAAF abandoned camouflage. There has been considerable discussion on the non-use of the ANA 613 OD instead of OD 41: it seems unlikely that they would use the grey but not the green.

I don't recall your reference #319 for OD - where did you come across this? For the photos, P-38s seem to be among the greener variants, and the brown shades of OD darker than the greens. Apart from the very sandy colour seen on C-47s. However, there was considerable variation.
