Hollywood Hid Lockheed
With the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor
coming up I thought this was really interesting.
(double click on pictures to enlarge)
During WWII (unbelievable 1940s pictures).
This is a version of special effects during the 1940s.
I have never seen these pictures or knew that we
had gone this far to protect ourselves. During
WWII the Army Corps of Engineers needed to
hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect
it from possible Japanese air attack. They covered it
with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural
subdivision from the air.
Before
After
Underneath
The person I received this from said she got back an
interesting story about someone's mother who worked at
Lockheed, and she as a younger child, remembers all this.
And to this day, it is the first pictures of it she's seen.
Another person who lived in the area talked about as
being a boy, watching it all be set up like a movie
studio production.
They had fake houses, trees, etc. and moved parked cars
around so it looked like a residential area from the skies
overhead.
What if you had to sew that netting?
Can you just imagine!!!
