The heading on this image explained that the dazzle camouflage on this Felixstowe F2B seaplane was to help find the plane if it was forced to land on the water. The F2B was the open cockpit version of the F2A. This aircraft served from July to Armistice Day 1918.

The dazzle wasn't to find the plane, it was an anti U Boat camouflage for when the plane was sitting on the water. The dazzle was supposed to baffle the German binocular periscope system of the time.
