I'll send you photos of the boat in Liverpool. The WW1 Dazzle camouflage was developed to make ships indistinct to submarine attack as the view trough a periscope was rendered useless. It was very effective but not used as much in WW2.
The German Airforce in WW1 used a similar idea sometimes on the top plane of a biplane. It was painted to move the center, off center so shooting from above would miss the pilot.
oh yes! much better! Excellent, shows them off to their best advantage. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteBoth viewpoints work well.
ReplyDeleteMish.
Nice shots Terran. There's a boat in Liverpool dock called a Dazzle boat. I think that's a form of camouflage too.
