The Lockheed Plant in WWII
Most chain e-mails are just crap. This one was interesting.
Lockheed During W.W.II (unbelievable 1940s pictures) 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 us.
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. Imagine the materials and labor needed to create this. Look at the large dimensional lumber used to support the netting. Just amazing.
Unfortunately, as is so with most such e-mail, I don't know to whom to attribute either the photos or original e-mail. However, I hope you'll enjoy the photos.
