WWI, HMS Argus, Dazzle Camouflage,1918

HMS Argus in British waters, 1918, an aircraft carrier that served in the Royal Navy and the first example of the standard pattern of aircraft carrier, with a full-length flight deck that allowed wheeled aircraft to take off and land. Dazzle camouflage was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in WWI. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting and intersecting each other. The intention of dazzle was not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading. (R class battleship is in the distance, cropped and cleaned).
