Many, many pages of high resolution scans of the original camouflage schemes designed by Norman Wilkinson et al in 1917 for a wide range of ship types. There are over 300 images. Click on the images at the left to open a pop-up to see each image in detail; there's a download button for each image on the pop-up. Fascinating stuff. It's all from the US National Archives Catalog (or "Catalogue" as I prefer).

Fascinating.   Actually, ANY of Wilkinson's  art is worth looking at.

Ideal reference material for modern warship whiffery.

And possible inspiration for 'Barclay scheme' application to jets.  Now, where can I find a cheap F-16 kit?
