The photo ties in American patriotism with the flag at the end of the room, the support of people by including the male figure in action mode.

Is this the final paint color? Or just some kind of primer kote?

No, it's a zinc dichromate primer. On the interiors of it was often a pea green color. Quite toxic I think , but good a protecting the metal.

This series of pictures are B-24 Bombers and I think at this point in the process, we are seeing the final color of that front cowling as it is called. Lots of these planes went out the door with bare metal on the exterior parts. I could be wrong.

Greenhorns: In all actuality, WWII planes' paint jobs final touch were often applied with "Kilroy was here," or some such personalized, decompensating brush stroke. 10-4, over and out. Pete Moss musicians, please to be making the noises, now.
