Fields of Deception

This book describes the decoy sites in two ways. Firstly there is a description of the types of site and how they were built. It also has a detailed Gazetteer of locations. It is a very good reference book on the subject. Highly recommended.

a fascinating account about various tricks developed in WW2 to deceive the enemy. for instance the building of a group of building which looked like the real thing not to mention false tanks and aeroplanes .

Very good source of information into “Starfish” sites and developments during World War II

A good record of deception sites and the thinking behind them.

I bought this book for my grandson. I have had my copy for years and it is the 'bible' on this niche subject. It provides an easy to read history of the need to have decoys emulating airfields and vital installations, the technical aspects and a gazetteer of the locations. Adequately illustrated with photographs and diagrams.
