My dad was an air raid warden in WWII, on Long Island. He tried to
enforce the blackout, since being on the coast lights at night
silhouetted ships at a short way out at sea. The U-boats were doing
great damage in 1942. I remember we had to paint over headlights and
only use parking lights.
as to camouflage - there were many instances of manufacturing plants
having roofs painted to resemble fields and orchards. We were not
entirely serene in our distance -
