Summary
[edit]
| Description | A U.S. Navy Grumman A-6A Intruder (BuNo 149948) in flight during camouflage tests, in 1965. The U.S. Navy experimented with aircraft camouflage and painted half of the aircraft of Attack Carrier Air Wing 11 and 15 with dark green colours to blend in with the Vietnamese jungle, in 1966. The results proved inconclusive for the U.S. Navy, whereas the U.S. Air Force concluded that the camouflage was effective. U.S. Navy planes would not be camouflaged until the 1980s. |
