Summary

Description U.S. Navy Grumman A-6A Intruder (BuNo 151817) from Attack Squadron VA-65 Tigers on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Constellation (CVA-64). VA-65 was assigned to Attak Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) aboard the Constellation for a deployment to Vietnam from 12 May to 3 December 1966. The U.S. Navy experimented with aircraft camouflage and painted half of the aircraft of Attack Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) with dark green colours to blend in with the Vietnamese jungle. The results proved inconclusive for the U.S. Navy, whereas the U.S. Air Force concluded that the camouflage was effective. U.S. Navy planes would not be camouflaged until the 1980s.
