Hello guys, let me reopen this thread. What was the color of the stripes on the wings and rudder and elevators on the 2nd BG planes in NMF?
Some sources say all in black, some sources even blue rudder + elevator but stripes on the wings in black and in the book "B-17 Flying Fotress in Color" by Steve Birdsdall I read following:
- 2 feet wide blue stripes on all the machines (outlined by white on machines with camo)
- moving parts of the tail (rudder and elevator) in blue on the machines without camo and in white on the machines with camo


Many people say and believe it was black but what was the real color? Black or blue? Can anyone help?


Thank you
