Yeah, you're probably right. To be clear I wasn't thinking bright red, like the way you can get the standard B17 now. I remember a very dark red, and am glad that Rage recalls the same thing. But no sign of those around that I've found, and I've looked quite a bit. Must have been a rarity when it was issued.

I actually have a Team Pro dating to '74, should put that one back on and see how it feels.
