    My dad worked here for about 15 to 20 yrs. He was hurt in an explosion that occurred on Memorial Day, 1972. Does anyone remember or have any info on that explosion? Thanks.

    Is this the final paint color? Or just some kind of primer kote?
  • enfield249 said:
    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.

    That's funny. Just saw this done in the Dirty Jobs episode at a Pennsylvania steel coal "coke" plant.

    It was definately a DIRTY JOB. My dad worked at this place in the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. He used to come home with soot looking stuff on his clothes and face. Looked like he'd been working in a coal mine. Sometimes he would shower before he left so he wouldn't come home so dirty.
