Vought V-156 Demonstrator

Thanks, JDK. I’m afraid I’ve already tried those two things. I scoured Flightglobal’s Paris 1938 coverage, but to no avail. It did show it with that one wing up, but no mention of color, as you say. I have the Squadron/Signal “In Action” book on the Vindicator–which is great–but it doesn’t give the colors or provide a profile, either.

Finally, I sent an email to Vought heritage group yesterday as well. I will post the reply on this board when I receive it, but nothing so far.

I was hoping with all the expertise on the color of Spitfire crowbars, someone might have information on the demonstration V-156’s basic colors. I know it’s a much more obscure subject, however.

Thanks in advance,

Logan

There’s a mention and details of the aircraft’s structure and performance in the Flight magazine of the Paris show, but no details of the colours I’m afraid. Have a search in the Flightglobal online PDF archive if you are interested in that data. – 1938-3374 is the page number.

Two thoughts – did Vought have ‘house colors’? It’s be those if they did, for a guess. Secondly try getting hold of the Vought heritage group, or whatever they’re called.
