Your mission: Find Victor Dowd’s missing sketchbook. And discover one of the most unusual stories of World War II. Meet the 603rd Camouflage Engineers, better known as the Ghost Army. This group of artists and sound engineers were trained to deceive the Germans in World War II with everything from fake tanks to loudspeakers broadcasting the sound of marching troops. And meet Victor Dowd, a real-life sergeant who with his fellow Ghost Army troops fought his way from Normandy, through France, and eventually across the Rhine. Second in the Spy on History series, it’s a compelling story of a little-known chapter from the war—and a mystery to solve. This hardcover library edition does not include any removable spycraft materials; readers will discover and unravel clues embedded in the text and illustrations to uncover the mystery of Victor Dowd’s missing sketchbook.
Victor Dowd and the World War II Ghost Army
Victor Dowd and the World War II Ghost Army continues the interactive Spy on History series, where middle grade readers get to experience history in a whole new way, now available in paperback. Meet Victor Dowd, illustrator and sergeant in the 603rd Camouflage Engineers, who along with other visual artists used his creative talents to defeat the Nazi Army, save countless lives, and help win the war in Europe. Read Dowd's heroic story--the 20 battlefield deceptions that employed inflatable tanks and airplanes, sound trucks, and phony radio transmissions to fool the Germans. Then using spycraft materials included in a sealed envelope inside, discover and unravel clues embedded in the text and illustrations, and solve the book's ultimate mystery. Spycraft materials included: a cipher wheel and sheet of red acetate to decode messages within the book, plus a WWII "poop sheet" and a vellum sheet featuring the insignia patches of the Ghost Army and the battalions they impersonated.
