The art of camouflage
I have a few pages from a book published here during WW2. The author was apparently an academic of some note .Most of the book is relating to buildings, but some of it is vehicle related .

Camouflage Dump
In most of my cammo books, Dumps that are out side are camouflaged by use of Netting with the use of cammo or hessian to distort the shape and blend in with the ground, The use of colour, shape , shine shadow. every piece of natural cover or ground pattern should be used.
