EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1940, Richard Levin, the visionary Director of the British Industrial Design Group, demonstrates his innovative solution to protect cars from the devastating impact of air raids during World War II. With the threat of enemy attacks looming large over the United Kingdom, Levin's idea was to have cars camouflaged with designs that blended them seamlessly into both the countryside and urban landscapes. The photograph shows Levin, dressed in a serious expression, working intently with models to showcase the effectiveness of his camouflage design. Half of the car is painted to resemble the rolling hills and lush greenery of the countryside, while the other half is disguised to mimic the brick buildings and cobblestone streets of a town. This ingenious approach aimed to reduce the visibility of cars from the air, thereby minimizing the risk of destruction during bombing raids. Levin, a renowned scientist and leader in the field of design, was at the forefront of the scientific community's efforts to find practical solutions to the challenges posed by the war. His groundbreaking work with camouflage for cars was just one of many inventions that helped the British people adapt and survive during this tumultuous period in history. This photograph serves as a testament to Levin's ingenuity and the resilient spirit of the British people during World War II.
