    Hi everyone, While researching for a new project, I stumbled on these photos of P-51B/C belonging to the 118th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, 23rd FG in China, 1945. You’ll notice that while all sported the distinctive black lightning bolt of the 118th, a few of the planes wore an unusual overall dark green camouflage while others remained NMF. I suppose the gloss green livery was applied in the field using locally-produced paints or as someone suggested, it had been waxed. Even so, why this peculiar treatment? Was there a special significance? Looks like to me the usual wrap-around dark green the ROCAF used on captured Japanese planes at the end of the war. What do you P-51 fans think? Can you help me resolve this mystery? Thank you for your time and expertise. Cheers, Quang
