Well, rats!! I thought we had that one pinned down... :shrugs: Cheers

Serendipitously, I was in another forum (on plastic model building) this morning, and someone posted exactly that - Amarillo as the official USAF lettering font. Cheers

Yep, the way Lemay set it up, SAC tended to have their own world! The "dots or not" are both in period active duty photos, I never fully trust restoration photos because folks often don't do proper research. ;-) Unfortunately, that goes for museums too. :roll: East Texas, same state but...

On the topic of dots/periods - that is one thing the Air Force was inconsistent about on application - roughly half the vehicles I have collected pictures of are marked U.S. and the other half are marked U S Tudorp, whereabouts in Texas? Cheers

Most welcome! Here is some more information. The Air Force always amuse me on how absolutely detailed they get on this kind of stuff - the markings manual runs 114 pages! I don't have a copy of Mil-STD-1223, that may be where the font type is to be found. Cheers

Here is the marking size direct from the USAF vehicle paint and marking manual. I'll root further into it, I believe I read the font type, I just need to find it again. Cheers
