Description of  Air Force Colors: Vol. 1. 1926-1942 (Squadron Signal 6024)

This book begins a study of US Military aircraft color schemes from 1926 to the 1980s. The early years, from the post-Ww l formation of the Army Air Corps to the establishment of a separateU.S. Air Force, were marked by phenomenal growth and development in all areas of aviation - all of which was r eflected in changing markings and colors. A great deal has been written about this period elsewhere, but a brief overview may help the reader place details in their historical perspective.
