Berryloid Tidbit

[Bookman]

Gents,
I was inspired by Stephen's recent Berryloid repaint of the Golden Age Simulations Travelair 6000 to create an information piece on the Berry Brothers (Berryloid) airplane dope.

Well, anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the page. If you have any additional information I can add to the page, please let me know.

Thanks for posting that. I'm working on a Robin and I note that both Robin Yellow and Robin Orange are on the second color card. I'll see if I can get something close to those colors.

Thanks Bookman:

This bit of research on your part answers that nagging 'who the heck was Berryloid anyway?' question I had. The scanned ads and paint swatches are well chosen and nicely done. Love the color card with the 'Berry Brother's finishes' art deco winged Mercury. Thats a classic artifact of the classic era.

Didn't realize the Berry Bros were based in good old Detroit, either.

Thanks for posting this great info.

Stephen
