Coastal-force weapons, camouflage, and layouts

The second volume of Allied Coastal Forces of World War II opens here with a disruptive PT-boat camouflage drawing. The illustration makes the craft's apparent direction deliberately difficult to read, showing camouflage as part of tactical deception. A powered twin 20 mm Oerlikon mounting demonstrates the book's detailed treatment of equipment installed in these small combatants. Paired with the first volume's plans and internal arrangements, this book connects hull design to weapons and visual concealment.
