On the topic of modeling, I am currently kitbashing an old Frog Fokker F.VIIb/3m into aa Atlantic C-2 military transport. This is no real big deal because the Atlantic was a license-built Fokker built for the Army (the Navy and the Marines used them as well, under different names). My problem is this; in 1926, what were the colors used by the Army for its transport aircraft? I've tried Googling the airplane, but all I've found were the "Josephine Ford", flown under Admiral Byrd's direction over the North Pole and the "America" used in a trans-Atlantic attempt. Byrd's aircraft was a very dark blue with orange/yellow wings and the "America" was silver (or light grey) with blue trim. Neither helps. I'm wondering if the aircraft might have had a dark or medium green (or the blue color also used) with chromate yellow wings. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
