WWII – Lockheed Aircraft Plant

During World War II the Allies needed to take every precaution to protect factories on the homefront. How this aircraft plant was handled is one of the most interesting stories I’ve come across. 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. The result is incredible.
