Wartime Livery?

[N48748]

Gentlemen;

I hope to have PT-22 c/n 1683 (41-15654) recovered early next summer. In old classbooks from Hemet and Tucson I've noted photos of PT-22's with the "star and bar" insignia on wings and fuselage, vs. the pre-war star + meatball insignia and striped rudder.

I am considering repainting c/n 1683 using this scheme, vs. the usual pre-war scheme.

Has anybody any information or input regards this scheme - especially whether wings and empennage were painted silver vs. AN yellow?

Thanks,

Bob Roth
