| Re: Question about F6F Hellcat Paint Schemes, 1943
Very cool info., SkySurfer, especially about the insignias!
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has yet answered my original question : Did any F6F Hellcats fly in combat in just the light blue-grey paint scheme (without the dark blue overspray) in late 1943?
I had Flatley's plane as an example, and I know it got oversprayed when it went into battle in August '43. But did other Hellcats from other groups/ships fly in combat before they got the dark blue overspray? Or was the "Dogfights" episode wrong? |
