Art & Inspiration WWI Dazzle

I did some research on it not so long ago

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/just-louvers.1028008/page-52#post-13459295

and I believe it was a Tire Company's support vehicle and obviously a rolling advertisement. Fisk is the Brand...It's funny Dazzling as it is, Camouflage was not the plan but in Vintage Hotrod it certainly albeit not Abstract at the very least was Bold...

And then there is "Mid-Century" Abstract Art.

 

Happens all the time.

 

Same reason 'Invasion stripes' were put on new aircraft headed for the European theatre.

Sounds like a 'sea lawyer' rumor as sound alone would likely be the more important factor as to which way a ship was traveling. Periscope views might cause a enough of a disagreement and waste enough time to lose the 'firing solution for an attack.

P-51 Mustang's in dazzle>>> (An ex's dad flew them but would never tell about his exploits. We did know that he often volunteered for photo taking and when they did that the weapons were removed for the huge and heavy camera(s) and film. Yipes!)

Thanks for the link!

 

Fish are confused enough as it is. Be kind.

 

There's a joke or two in that first photo but....I'll leave them be.

 

Please find it!

One RN group. Destroyers I think. US navy tried it out too. Wasn't as effective overall as grey.
Supposedly the basis for the movie 'Operation Petticoat'.

 

Cool!

 

Easter Sunday 1960. Demolition Derby after the jalopy races. That's Jumpin' Jack Summers, the starter as the Easter Bunny.

Great topic boss.

 

Thanks for the thread, Ryan, now I know how to hide my shitty bodywork.

 

HA!
What a brilliant idea!
(p.s. that was for Williebill.)

 

Invasion stripes were to keep US soldiers from shooting down their own airplanes flying overhead.

 

This is a uniquely painted WW1 German helmet, I dont think its naval due to the brow plate and I've seen a few more helmets with wild paint schemes. There is no doubt in my mind the paint was applied during WW1 or the years immediately after. Wish it was in my collection.

 

Um, yes. My point.

 

WOW! Never saw anything like that! Thanks!

 

Here's another type of Navy camo. Sometimes this is done to keep snooping satellites from seeing what was up with anything going on on masts such as radar upgrades which is where this particular wrap/shielding started. I suspect that they have continued on with repairs and repainting right here to not go into the yards due to 19.
I can't recall when, or if, I've seen a foredeck covered up like this other than tented for a special event.
Pretty much everything you see in white is (probably) a heavy vinyl covering.

 

British though I don't know what ship she is.

 

1951 NASCAR race at Langhorne.
