US Navy air wing color codes?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I used to have a list of the squadron color codes used by the USN in the 1950s before the Vietnam squadron shuffle screwed everything up. Namely, I am looking for what colors went with what positions in the air wing. I know a few off hand already. 1xx is red, 2xx is yellow, 5xx is green. But does anyone have or know the full list?

 

Thanks.

Awesome! Thanks guys! I have been trying to refind this information and could not. Xrearl, that is the exact page I had found so long ago and forgotten. Wrench, that sums it up nicely. Thanks for all the help!
