“Mac” McWhorter Runs Up the Score
BY ROBERT F. DORR
Through the first half of 1943, several changes were incorporated to most Pacific theater
combat aircraft camouflaging. It started with the Tri-Color scheme that added Non-
Specular Sea Blue as a top view coat over the earlier camouflage. The national insignia
added rectangular bars with an initial red surround that only lasted several months when
replaced by matching Insignia Blue like the star cockade. (Photo courtesy of Stan Piet)
