I have seen various photos of navy bombs being loaded on airacraft…They do not appear to be olive drab in color. They look more like Grey or yellow…Does anyone know the proper color for US WII Navy Bombs?
not sure but from what I’ve seen it looks like it is somewhere between olive drab and chromate yellow…
Bombs were primarily Olive Drab with yellow rings around the nose and sometimes around the “tail”. Napalm canisters were left aluminum.
well it is more of between Olive Drab and Faded Olive Drab and pale yellow
Some of the bombs used by the dive bombers were chrome yellow. The SB2C Helldivers would drop these.
