Sailors Salute
November 1918: Airmen and sailors cheering the King from the aircraft carrier Argus, on his visit to the Fleet at Rosyth, Scotland. The carrier is painted in dazzle camouflage. Dazzle camouflage was designed by Norman Wilkinson to confuse enemy ships. Designed not so much to hide vessels, the camouflage was intended to make it difficult to pinpoint the direction in which a ship was travelling. (Photo by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in November 1918, we witness a powerful moment of unity and patriotism. A group of airmen and sailors aboard the aircraft carrier Argus are seen saluting their King during his visit to the Fleet at Rosyth, Scotland. The striking silhouette of these brave men against the backdrop of the vast Scottish landscape creates an awe-inspiring image. What sets this photo apart is not only its historical significance but also the unique camouflage technique employed on the carrier. Painted in dazzle camouflage, designed by Norman Wilkinson, it was intended to confuse enemy ships rather than hide vessels completely. This innovative approach aimed to make it difficult for adversaries to determine which direction a ship was traveling. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we can't help but feel admiration for these courageous individuals who dedicated themselves to protecting their nation's interests. Their unified salute speaks volumes about their commitment and loyalty towards their King and country.
