Re: 15th Air Force Camouflage
If any of the earlier aircraft had survived in front-line service that long, then they would still have been in the original camouflage. I suspect however that few of them would have lasted that long, either being lost or withdrawn.
There are a number of works on USAAF camouflage, some however rather elderly now and probably not available. However as an overall guide Archer's work for Schiffer should still be available. Ken Rust did a history of the 15th for Aero Publishers (his work on the 9th is also relevant here), and there was a Kookaburra book that dealt with the 12th and 15th AFs.
