Browne new York not As military scientists devise new ways to foil enemy radar the stealth program is also addressing a need to make combat planes less conspicuous to the naked Eye. Although scientific techniques Are used in devel Oping and evaluating camouflage paint schemes for aircraft and other weapons military artists also play a role. Among them is Keith Ferris a leading Painter of aviation objects who often flies with air Force mis Sion to gain perspective for hit paintings. He holds five Patent for military camouflage patterns and has been a part Lime adviser to the air Force and Navy on camouflage for the past is years. Among Ferris contributions was to bring about the elimination of color from the National insignia carried by most combat planes. Formerly a White Star superimposed on a Blue disk flanked by red White and Blue ban the . Insignia is now painted in outline using Gray or Black. Partly As a result of Ferris urging most air Force and Navy fighters arc now painted in several shades of Gray eliminating the More colourful patterns of the past. One of the great mistakes of the past he said was the use or dark colors in camouflage patterns. These included the dark Green medium Green and Tan pattern that came into use during the Vietnam a slight distance away that paint scheme made a plane look Black. Viewed against a typical sky Back ground the aircraft was in Sharp Silhouette visible and conspicuous from a great distance away. A Light Gray Lone thai matches the typical color of the sky has a much better Chance of avoiding Ferris noted that in world War american combat planes were painted in Green and Brown camouflage Battema but in world War ii the korean War an the Early part of the Vietnam War the gleaming alumni num Ikin of the majority of american air planes was left unpainted. A much belter Choice of camouflage than the one eventually used in Southeast Asia he maintains would have been a non reflective Coal of Light Gray paint. The non reflective Quality of a paint finish is important he said but it s difficult to Penu Ade spit and polish commanders to use Matte finish because it gets dirty quickly and looks very shabby but Habbi Nam actually helps concealment in the air As the Navy now realize. Today s Navy planes look really Grubby but they re effectively also objected to a color devised by the air Force for the initial Batch of f-15 fighters delivered inthe 1970s. The entire plane was painted a sky Blue color that Ferris believed would make the fighter dangerously conspicuous in Battle. He made his Point in a painting of the f-15 that is now part of the air forc Eart collection in which the fighter stands out starkly against a Pale Gray after Ferris presented his painting the air Force abandoned the scheme and began colouring its f Lis Gray. Today s f-15s Are painted in iwo coun lers Hadw tones of Gray in which the lighter of the ones it applied to parts of the air plane Likely to be shaded from inc Sun the effect is 10 reduce the con Trast presented by various parts of the plane to a Dis Tant viewer.
