Lieutenant Colonel Victor Harry Jones OBE (b.
1898) was a British intelligence officer and "visual deception" expert during the Second World War.
First serving with the 14th/20th King's Hussars in the First World War, he made a name for himself during the North African Campaign of the Second World War by using dummy tanks (and other fake vehicles) to mislead the enemy.
In 1941 he was transferred to A Force in Cairo, under Dudley Clarke, to continue deception operations on a larger scale.
