WW2 Canopy

Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant during WW2 This is a version of special effects during the 1940's. I have never seen these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect ourselves. During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a possible Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air.  They had fake houses, trees, etc. and moved parked cars around so it looked like a residential area from the skies overhead.  It was strong enough to walk on and they hired people to ride bicycles and move around as if they lived there to make it look authentic.
