Maby the refferance in books saying the colour is blue is because they saw the flames in an angle looking straight down the stacks so to speak (from an angle and from behind) , like oleg explained, flames are blue just at the beginning of the outlet and gets more yellow the longer the stacks are.
just guessing.

We have videos showing it, some have seen it and most have read it in the accounts from pilots and crew that flew.
The Halifax I and II had terrible trouble with their positions being given away by blue exhaust flame from the merlins. They tried to cover it with metal guards but they glowed red instead. Only when the hercules engines were fitted in the III was the problem resolved.
I would like to hear the argument and evidence as to why it should be red and yellow rather than blue.
