Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the evolution of marine camouflage techniques from the ancient Romans to the advent of submarines during World War I. The author traces how American and British artists collaborated with scientists to develop the principles and applications of protective colorations for shipsâ"the low-visibility system and the dazzle system. The book reveals the challenges and limitations of each system and discusses the methodologies employed to resolve them, such as laboratory testing with a periscope eye and the use of visibility meters. The book provides insights into the significance of form, lines, curves, and angles in determining a ship's appearance and how these elements were manipulated to confuse the U-boat commanders. The book demonstrates how the artists' trained observation and knowledge of color theory were instrumental in devising effective camouflage strategies that ultimately contributed to the Allied victory in the war.
