Particularly during the two world war some ships were painted in dazzle camouflage consisting of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other. The aim of this camouflage is to make it difficult to estimate a target’s range, speed, and heading.
Would something similar work on fighter aircraft trying to reduce the risk of a shoot down in air to air combat?

I’ve seen pictures of similar “warship style” dazzle colours (black and white) applied to an Alison engined P-51 Mustang. It might well have been an A-36 Apache version (4 x 20 mm cannon armed P-51).

Probably something like this.
False canopy painted on the underside of Canadian Hornets. Adopted by some other users. The idea is to make it more difficult to determine which way it’s turning.

Ferris’ disruptive camouflage had the same idea.
