[StartQuote] [image]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll183/aust_yank/Untitled1tif.jpg[/image] PT 170 "ZEBRA" This photo is taken from Frank D Johnson's book,"United States PT Boats of World War 2. The Caption to the photo reads, During late 1942/early 1943 while the Bureau of Ships attempted to develop effective camoflage schemes for PT Boats.Elco was directed to apply a ZEBRA pattern to PT 170.This pattern was later field tested in the combat zones.Other than attention.nothing overly remarkable was gained with the scheme.Obviously the intent was to confuse the enemy as to the type of craft,its size and direction of travel.Concealment was not one of the patterns strongpoints.
