Chapters
This chapter explores the history and mechanics of dazzle camouflage, a form of disruptive camouflage used during World War I to confuse enemy U-boats about the speed and direction of ships.
- Dazzle camouflage was designed to make it difficult for U-boat operators to determine a ship's speed and direction.
- Artists contributed to the design of these patterns, making the ships look like 'a flock of sea-going Easter eggs'.
- The effectiveness of dazzle camouflage was tested using toy models and experienced submarine captains.
