To aviation enthusiasts, the U S. Navy adversary aircraft and their counterparts in the Air Force’s aggressor squadrons have been a high-interest topic since the very beginning of their use during the Vietnam War. Their mission of providing dissimilar air combat maneuvering (DACM) training for combat pilots has captivated the interest and imagination of anyone who kept up with U.S. military aviation to any extent at all.
One of the most interesting aspects of these adversary and aggressor units in both the Navy and Air Force is the unusual camouflage paint schemes in which the aircraft have been painted. These camouflage patterns range from the bland to the colorful, and from the simple to the elaborate. They represent a real departure from the typical U.S. military paint schemes, and this accounts for much of their popularity. These unusual adversary paint schemes on Navy aircraft are the subject of this book.
