Watching a documentary on TV last night, a question suddenly struck me:
Naval aircraft in World War II seem to have been painted a dark "Naval
blue." Naval aircraft from Vietnam to more recent times seem to be
painted a light "Naval grey" (except for the Blue Angels, of course).
The question: When did the Navy switch from blue to grey coloring for
their aviation assets, and what was the reason.
