Re: FAA Corsair I, Informations needed
the two vintage color photos linked to above are photographic confirmation of the US 'Equivalent Colors' scheme of :
ANA 602 Light Grey on the undersides. ANA 603 Neutral/Sea Gray on the top and sides-base coat. ANA 613 Olive Drab on the top and sides-disruptive (notice how the 3rd color is distinctly Brown , not green )

Thanks Mike, but I'm looking for informations about Corsair I. AFAIK, they didn't have the clipped wings.

"the two vintage color photos linked to above are photographic confirmation of the US 'Equivalent Colors' scheme of :

The undersurfaces are very clearly US Substitute Sky, probably patterned to ANA 610 Sky and as required by AMO 864 of 7.9.44. for naval monoplanes operating from ship or shore bases. The "equivalent" US colour for the AM required Sky was ANA 610 Sky. Why would it be anything else? If there is any factual, documentary evidence for the application of light grey instead of Sky, contrary to AM, BPC & FAA requirements, please let's see it.

personally I think the best evidence as to what colors were actually used on these aircraft (not the ones listed in specifications) are the vintage color photos in the three links above. (use the Mark 1 eyeball) try this: open the images in Adobe Photoshop and use the 'Auto Contrast' and 'Auto Levels' commands to correct the images. you will see the underside is Gray , not Green AFAIK ANA 610 Sky (type S) is for land-based aircraft.
