I once heard some old time IRT crews talking about “Bluebirds” and “Redbirds” even before the R-29s came in. It seems that they were referring to the R-12s and 14s as being the Bluebirds even though they were 2 tone grey, although they could have been referring to the interior paint scheme. There were 2 possibilities for the Redbirds. One was the R-15s which were maroon with grey and beige racing stripes and the other would have been the R-17s which were a solid maroon although a slightly liter shade than the R-15s. |
