Hiding the Lockheed plant during WWII

Lockheed During WW.II (unbelievable 1940s pictures)

This is  pretty neat--special effects during the 1940's:  I have never seen  these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect us.

During  World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed  Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from Japanese air attack. They  covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural  subdivision from the air.
  (Besides everything else, check out the  cars.)


The 1st one is before .............

The rest are after the covering........

Amazing isn't it?

Interesting pictures, the government does a lot of things that we the public are not aware of until much later.
