Yes indeed Kiwi,a vast subject that has to be broken down in order to cover just a small cross section of aviation history,the problem is that it is not helped by non standard variations done at base and due to circumstances of paint supply etc a good example of this was the Suez conflict whereby the official stipulation was to paint yellow/black bands on the aircraft,white was substituted for the yellow,making them look like a re-take of WW 2 D-Day markings,some aircraft flew with even a mixture of both,so there are always exceptions to the rule in anything like this.As always if you are making a particular model or just a representative example,it is best to use a photograph of the real machine as a reference source,our guide is a basic history of the many different changes over the years.
