Letter: True colours

Published 2 April 2014

From David H

In his article on disruptive camouflage (22 March, p 38), Ed Yong states that the dazzle painting on allied ships during both world wars was black-and-white geometric patterns. This is not entirely true.

Dazzle camouflage came in a whole range of colours including blue, green and buff. London’s Imperial War Museum holds a number of contemporary ship models showing the various patterns used.
