Arthur Singer was renowned for his graceful illustrations
of birds and other animals in their habitats, but his
understanding of the natural world proved vital in wartime
as well. He worked with the Allies during World War
II to conceive camouflage schemes for tanks, which required
keen observations of terrain and moving objects when
viewed from above. |
