Dummies Go to War
Latest trick of camouflage is bad camouflage that "conceals" dummy equipment
which causes enemy to waste bombs. Shark-toothed dummy (top) may be covered with
"flat-top" of fish net that does not blend in with surroundings when viewed from
above
If you half close your eyes, the mock motor convoy (left) appears somewhat as
it would to an enemy pilot. Contours are realistic and might inveigle fighter to
drop down for strafing column. Troops before net are "weaving" it with burlap to
hide a truck
The sharp eye of enemy reconnaissance would be quick to spot the gun below as
a dummy. Fliers would be instructed as to its exact position, but next time they
fly in low over the "fake" they would be trapped with a real gun that replaced the
dummy
Below, observation post made of dummy tree stump and "dead log" concealing tunnel
(note man crawling out), Right, model of train on gunnery range
From the air the fighter plane (above) looks like a real P-40 parked along-side
an advance landing strip. It is made from scrap wood and sheet metal
Left, dummy field gun with dummy crew is poorly camouflaged so foe will spot
it from above and be scared away. Phony gun is made of wood and canvas
