| 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. A person who lived in the area talked about how, as a boy, he watched 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 neighborhood from above. |
