Book Description:
|
During World War I, American merchant ships were given oddly coloured 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 factors that made a difference in the survivability of merchant shipping.
