The Pacific theatre of the Second World War is where carrier-based aviation both Japanese and American played the most significant role. From Pearl Harbor to the end of the war battles involving U.S. and Japanese naval aircraft were relentless. In late December 1940 the U.S. Navy ordered all carrier-based aircraft to be painted entirely in Light Grey. Subsequently in August 1941 it was decided that the upper surfaces of aircraft belonging to the Pacific Fleet’s Battle Force should be painted in Blue-Grey while the lower surfaces would retain the previous Light Grey color. Over the following months it was gradually mandated that more aircraft be painted in this scheme. By February 1942 it was formally ordered that all U.S. Navy aircraft both carrier-based and land-based were to be painted in the Blue-Grey and Light Grey scheme. This initial camouflage scheme remained in use until January 1943 when a new tricolor camouflage scheme was introduced for carrier-based aircraft. This consisted of Sea Blue for the upper surfaces Intermediate Blue for the midsection and Insignia White for the undersides.
