HOW TO MAKE A TANK DISAPPEAR - Marine Captain gives the final instructions in this skillful job of camouflaging a 16-ton amphibian tank to the crew members atop the tank somewhere in the South Pacific. The tank in which Leathernecks storm ashore and then punch thier way inland is entirely concealed except for the gun turret and stubby cannon mouth. A Marine Corps Combat Photographer climbed fifteen feet up a tree to obtain this photo.
