informative new online dazzle camouflage source links

Beginning in 2018, we published four major essays on aspects of World War I ship camouflage. Shown here are the covers (above) and examples of pages (below on this post) as they were prepared for production as printed booklets (not as facing page spreads). Only a small number of these were printed, but they are now available to read online and/or to download in pdf format. The booklets and their online links are as follows—

Chicanery and Conspicuousness: Social Repercussions of World War I Ship Camouflage (2018).
Under the Big Top at Sims’ Circus: Ship Camouflage Behind the Scenes in World War One (2018).
Disruption Versus Dazzle: Prevalent Misunderstandings about World War I Ship Camouflage (2018).
Optical Science Meets Visual Art: The Camouflage Experiments of William Andrew Mackay (2019).


Signed first editions of our three earlier books on the subject are available as a bundle at substantially discounted prices (with free shipping) on Ebay.



An on-going series of new videos on the subject, such as Dazzle Camouflage: What is it and how did it work?, can be viewed on our YouTube Channel, available here.
