Hiding the Lockheed plant during WWII

[Chalenge]

During the early part of the war no one knew what 'they' had where 'they' would come from and 'who' might help them. There were vast parts of our country and many neighboring countries that were open and available for clandestine use. In that kind of situation it was thought better to be safe then sorry.

Then we had a generation of glue sniffers that grew up to be....

wait where was the plant located,if it was on hawaii or possibly the panama canal i would see the point of hiding it.but if it were anywhere else there is not much of a point.

btw i saw a bomber in one of the photos.what was the bomber?

did they make any other kinds of planes?

i wouldn't think that america would go to this extent to protect the factory,when because on the coast of the atlantic US they didn't make people shut down thier lights.

which might have saved more shipping because the u-boats could go along new york and even florida and see where our liberty ships and alll that was coming from.

the coastline was lit up along the us. I have some good photos from a book.

Does anyone read the full story of a post anymore?

That ain't a bomber. Try a DC-4/C-54.

Right. Somehow missed the outer fins.

And the DC-4/C-54 was built by Douglas not Lockheed.

Just an FYI for those that don't know. The Japanese actually held territory in the Aleutian islands, that's just west of Alaska for those that are geographically challenged. There was a real fear of the Japanese attacking the west coast of the U.S. so the camouflaging of the Lockheed plant, and others on the west coast makes perfect since.

That is what the "D" stands for.

Sounds more like a propaganda act. Surely made the people feel like they were under immediate threat.
