There is an interesting article about dazzle camouflage in the Washington Post:

Amazing what approach they took to safeguard those ships. Very interesting reading. Thank you for the link Garet. This falls in line with those strange cam jobs on some of those lead aircraft in WWII.

Me and a skateboard I built a few years ago.  Sorry about the fashion model, he was the only one I could get on such short notice  ;)

A great image that I remembered from one of my Camo books.

  There were some experiments with USN aircraft camouflage by McClelland Barclay an American Artist.

   Used on a Buffalo, Devastator and a Vindicator.
