Glass fiber, finer than human hair, spread over ordinary chicken wire and painted leaf-green is the newest variation in the camouflage nets that are gradually being rigged over the more vital U.S. war plants. The nets are light enough to be supported by light framework, strong enough to stand up under snow and ice, and, being non-inflammable, cannot be destroyed by incendiary bombs. The paint job can be changed as often as necessary to keep the camouflage design in harmony with seasonal changes.
