The Directorate of Camouflage may sound like a Monty Python sketch but it was an organization that flourished during the Second World War as Britain sought ways of disguising potential targets from enemy attack. This included buildings, ships and planes, along with cars, tanks and soldiers. Goodden's celebration of stealth artistry considers the designers, artists and architects who joined the Directorate, along with the ingenious and sometimes eccentric methods by which a military establishment attempted to pretend it didn't exist.
