Studying the images I see there are pipes running along both sides of the hull, I take it they are fuel lines?

Guessing they are aviation fuel lines

I’m in the process of building a Langley, what type of wood did they use on the deck?

Anyone have a good idea what camoflage scheme USS Langley, AV-3 was in at the time of her sinking? Doesn't look dark enough to be Measure 1.......

From this photo when she was scuttled by torpedoes, apparently there was no camouflage.

A page back, I posted a photo from the book "Every Day a Nightmare", which shows Langley in Australia, just before her fateful voyage.

Looks like something is going on there - maybe a rushed and/or poorly applied coat of Cavite Blue?

Another late image of the Covered Wagon at Darwin...her camo scheme was based on funnel smoke and coffee grounds IIRC. :smallsmile:
