n nA visually stunning look at innovative and eye-popping measures used to protect ships during World War I. n During World War I, British and American ships were painted with bold colors and crazy patterns from bow to stern. Why would anyone put such eye-catching designs on ships? n Desperate to protect ships from German torpedo attacks, British lieutenant-commander Norman Wilkinson proposed what became known as dazzle. These stunning patterns and colors were meant to confuse the enemy about a ships speed and direction. By the end of the war, more than four thousand ships had been painted with these mesmerizing designs. n Author Chris Barton and illustrator Victo Ngai vividly bring to life this little-known story of how the unlikely and the improbable became just plain dazzling.n -- Journal
