United States Navy markings?
Why is it that most United States Air Force planes Have "U. S. AIR FORCE" or
"UNITED STATES AIR FORCE" markings but United States Navy and Marine Airplanes only have "NAVY" or 'MARINES": Is there an international agreement that covers this or is it just convention / tradition? Thanks for any replies. Jack G.

Thanks for any replies. Service choice. The Army, Marines, and Navy are secure enough to just use their service name, and let the US insignia say everything else. The USAF, coming off their USAAF inferiority complex with the 1947 reorganization of the military services and establishment of DoD and the USAF independent from the Army, have demonstrated that inferiority complex proudly for more than 50 years. Off we go, into the wild blue yonder, flying high while thinking low ... -- OJ III

Went Marine vice Army, gratifying my Marine LtCol step-father and disappointing my Army LtCol father.

United States Navy markings?
As a follow up question on markings, I have one about paint schemes?
Over the years the air craft have varried the paint schemes from dark sea blue to the current haze grey for everything. Why the changes & what works best??? Also will we ever return to something other than grey & borring?
