but now, the problem is folow, her is give just color by squadron of this aircraft carrier, but my list containt another CVE, and here i don't know what color is used byt this!!!If my memory serves, the scheme would make him Section Leader (Full Cowl Band) of the 3rd Section (Blue Cowl Banding), USS Wasp (Black Tail).

and here i have just found a photo from Wildcat from CV Ranger, this permit to view the green color from squadron leader, but this don't help me because, here is just done a white color fighter, and not color we is used by Torch operation!
