Aircraft Prototype Colors?
Working on a project, which deals with the North American Aviation Bid to build the X-15 Rocket Plane.
The NAA design was chosen, the Republic Aircraft and Bell designs were not chosen.
I need the colors the two designs would have used if they won the bidding.
Republic's entry was the AP-76
Bell's entry was the D-171. (possibly could be orange-does anyone know for sure?)
Anyone know which color to use? You would think black, but the Douglass Rocket Plane was white (Douglass 684).
Thanks for any help with this. Working on a set of stomp rockets to compare the flight stability of each design.
Best regards,
Mike Bauer
