MASQUERADE
The Amazing Comouflage Deceptions of World War 11
by Seymour Reit
published in 1979, first British edition, Robert Hale, London
In MASQUERADE Seymour Reit brings to light many little known but ingenious achievements of the largely unsung men and women whose remarkable innovations produced the camouflage which allowed many allied operations to be carried out under a protection of illusion. Many of them were scenic artists and set designers, at their disposal they had only stage props and illusions. They used dummy tanks and landing barges made of canvas and plywood; they made elaborate trompe-l'oeil effects which, from the air, were completely deceptive.....This book is a tribute to the achievements of the camouflagers.
