Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Ink drawing by Brian Robb of Peter Proud's Dummy 'Net Gun Pit', used in military deception in the Western Desert, 1941-1942. The pit is a complex illusion created with canvas, netting, poles and guy ropes, using real shadows to simulate the appearance of an anti-aircraft gun position convincingly when seen from the air.
