Pre-WWII Aircraft Identification Colors
Painting order SR-2B was issued in October, 1940, in an effort
to codify many of the painting orders and practices already in
use to that point in time. This chart provides the current
Federal Standard 595 equivalents to those colors used in
pre-WWII aircraft identification. This directive
applies to Accurate Miniatures F3F, early SBD Dauntless, and SB2U
Vindicator.
