Scope and content
On April 17, 1941, the 205th Coast Artillery (anti-aircraft) unit conducted a trial run on defending Tacoma's industrial plants and shipyards from attack by airplane. One of the major problems was how to camouflage the over 200 trucks used to transport the men and equipment. Here boards are being used to disguise two of the trucks. (T. Times 4/18/1941, pg.1)
