5.0 out of 5 stars great info on african theater and sea search color schemes, September 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: USAAF Aircraft Markings and Camouflage 1941-1947: The History of USAAF Aircraft Markings, Insignia, Camouflage, and Colors (Schiffer Military Aviation History) (Hardcover)
A great reference for the historical modeler or any fan of WWII air power. I especially enjoyed the detail and new information (to me)on the development of sea search camouflage schemes and the camouflage and markings developed for the north african campaign. These areas have been minimally covered previously, and it was always confusing to try and determine what was accurate. It is a valuable reference for me in reproducing some of these more obscure or specialized color schemes in models, and in identifying the theater and period of aircraft in photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good ink color chips, June 16, 2007
By 
DrBig (Laguna Niguel, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: USAAF Aircraft Markings and Camouflage 1941-1947: The History of USAAF Aircraft Markings, Insignia, Camouflage, and Colors (Schiffer Military Aviation History) (Hardcover)
I can't comment on the quality of the markings text, but the color chips in the appendix are very accurate, which surprises me. If you don't want to buy this book because it has only ink & not proper paint color chips, I urge you to reconsider. The production team actually did well using the less expensive ink format to accurately portray the historic colors. The 3-1 colors match very well to the real McCoy which I have seen, & this most likely means that the others were done correctly too.
