During the tumultuous era of World War I, while the Allied Powers valiantly battled across air, land, and sea to secure the freedoms of today, a formidable challenge emerged, seemingly without resolution.
Out on the vast Atlantic waters, British and American ships bearing vital supplies for England faced merciless attacks by German U-Boats. Amid this crisis, the brightest minds on both sides of the ocean toiled ceaselessly to devise a solution that would safeguard these crucial vessels. Conventional camouflage proved futile against the ever-changing elements of sea and sky.
As the British Admiralty and US Navy grappled with this conundrum, an unexpected muse emerged – zebras.
In 1917, while serving in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, British artist Norman Wilkinson devised a stroke of genius. What if, unable to blend in, ships could defy the odds by standing out?
This marked the birth of dazzle camouflage – a strategy rooted in disruption and confusion.
