The brits did something like this as well. They hired a magician to create the illusions to hide tanks and buildings around the Suez canal.

When I was very young my dad moved us to a subdivision near LAX. It was Los Angeles National Airport then. We got there in September of 45. They were just starting to take down the same type cammo that covered the Douglas and North American plants. It was really impressive to a 7 year old.

But sometimes, the best laid plans…(you know).

“Well aware that the Lockheed aircraft plant in Burbank, just blocks from his studio, was certain to be a high-value target, he was horrified one day to have someone point out that, from the air, a Japanese bomber might not be able to tell the difference. Warner promptly visited the studio’s paint shop and ordered the erection of an enormous sign on the roof of one of the Warner soundstages. The result? A twenty-foot arrow pointing to Burbank, along with the words: LOCKHEED – THAT-A-WAY!”

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw back at Lejeune. An officer walks into a classroom through a door marked “Advanced Urban Camoflauge Tactics” to see only empty desks. The caption says, “Well done, men!”
