Can someone help me with the color of the bombs carried by RAF aircraft during WW2 thank J
My reference for these colors is Aviation News Vol 16/3.
2000LB MKII/III: dark green overall with 2 inch wide light green band 16inches from nose and a 1/2 inch wide red band 6 inches from nose
4000LB MKII: as above but light green band is 2 feet from nose and red band is 8 inches from nose
4000LB MKIII/IV: as above with blue band added to indicate American supplied
8000LB MKI/II: as above but bands on both sections of bomb, red band 1 inch wide
12000LB MKII: as above
Hope this helps.
