The second was that green was thought to cause less eyestrain than the bright yellow of the raw pigment. One was that zinc chromate is sensitive to UV light and the Carbon Black helped to reduce the photolytic reactions the UV induced.

Originally 4oz of Aluminium Powder was also included. The specification for Yellow-Green, used in aircraft interiors was given as: Navy requirement for a single-seat shipboard fighter.Vought’s design team set out to create the fastest fighter ever built. Powered by a Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine. As reported in a previous article in, the Corsair was designed to meet a 1938 U.S. Note that the front half of the undercarriage lever, on the lower port pedestal, was painted red.
