AMAZING PHOTOGRAPH...


An interesting look at the past...

“A Fake Rooftop Suburb That Hid A Whole WWII Airplane Factory Underneath, 1944”

 


 Some factories put up camouflage netting to disguise structures, but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers took things a big step further on top of the Boeing Plant 2 in Seattle, crafting an entire faux neighborhood.

  2. That's a pretty clever idea.

  3. I remember a number of Life Magazine pictures of examples of this. It wasn't necessary, but they didn't know that at the time!
