Default Lockheed During WWII - unbelievable 1940s pictures

This was emailed to me and thought I would pass it on, Neat cars like the article states
===============

This is pretty neat -- special effects during the 1940's, I have never seen these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect our resources. During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. (Besides everything else, check out the cars.)
