Why Before WWII, DALTONIKS pilots were not drafted into the Air Force. In 1941 everything changed.
Prior to the outbreak of World War II, the prevailing view was that the military required color vision. Therefore, color blind people did not serve in the US Army and were not drafted.
However, as hostilities developed, protective camouflage became more sophisticated. The colors more closely matched the background color, making it difficult for soldiers or pilots to spot a well-camouflaged enemy.
By 1941, it was discovered that color blind people were looking for a camouflaged object not by color like people with normal vision, but instead they were looking for the shape and shape of the camouflaged object in the background.
People with normal color vision are accustomed to assessing the difference in objects by color differentiation.
Even if the paint or uniform matched the background almost perfectly, which is rare in the ever-changing scene of war, color blind people were still not fooled.
