Steven H. McLain Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I know colors were discussed about the color of this aircraft many times. I have the book: Air Vanguard 12, Lockheed A-12. On page 60 at the top of the page is a photo of M-21 and A-12s. Put the photo in bright sunlight or a bright light. They look to me to be painted in that dark blue. You be the judge. But all the other photos in the book are flat black. Is it possible that they were dark blue when new but turned black after flight? I don't know. I'm confused as everyone else.

habu2 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The aircraft were painted black. The blue appearance in photographs in books is an artifact of the printing process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
