DAZZLE CAMOUFLAGE




Dazzle camouflage was used in both World Wars as a confusion tactic against enemy rangefinders.  The striking patterns made it difficult to determine the speed, heading, size & type of ship.  British marine painter Norman Wilkinson invented the concept & tested his pattern designs on little model ships viewed through a periscope in his studio.  Can I please have one of the little model ships?
