Not color, but Black and White.

And not much, just a couple of photos as part of a Blue Angel aircraft history.

Have you looked on
http://www.airliners.net ?
I know it says airliners ( I have no interest in them at all... )
But there are lots of other categories, warbirds, military etc.
I'd be surprised if you could not find what you want there.
Be warned.. if you go there you will spend a LONG time there, I always do.....Lots of beautiful photo's there, I rotate them as my wallpaper.

These were taken from the book Aerobatic Teams 1950 - 1970. Unfortunately it doesn't have a top view of the Panther. However, it does show a Cougar.

Except for the swept wings, the paint scheme was the same. As to the silver gray on the leading edges, I remember it as being the polished aluminum of the wing. The crews put in a lot of work before each show, lots of elbow grease. I used to watch them every day when I lived in Pensacola. Never got boring. IIRC they flew out of Forest Sherman Field. For more info, try the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola.
