BROWN BOOTS?
I have seen a b&w photo of a WW2 RAF bomber and its crew standing in front, which has been 'coloured' by a professional and is as good now as a modern-day hi-res image.
A friend has a similar picture that they want coloured but we notice that the first one may have a nit-picking error which we want to avoid copying.
Does anyone know what colour Bomber Command's aircrew and groundcrew shoes/boots were in 1943-44?
The original photo that we admire has them coloured brown and yet I am convinced that they would have been black. A nitpicking point, I know,, but attention to such minor details is necessary.
Does anyone know the answer, or otherwise know whether the RAF Museum at Hendon has a 'fashion' adviser whom I could contact?
