Razzle Dazzle - United States Navy Ship Camouflage in World War I (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 19 working days
|
During World War I, American merchant ships were given oddly
colored paint jobs to distort their profiles at sea. Dubbed
"Razzle-Dazzle," these camouflage patterns were believed
responsible for dramatic decreases in Allied shipping losses. This
book examines the real (and more compelling) factors that made a
difference in the survivability of merchant shipping: the various
measures taken principally by the U.S. Navy, including the use of
convoys and destroyer escorts, along with some innovative naval
technologies. At the same time, advances in America's shipbuilding
industry and the development of the nation's first major on-the-job
training program enabled mass production of merchant ships at a
record pace.
