Many of you I'm sure are aware of the counter measures taken at the Lockheed Aircraft factory in Burbank during WWII.

I think this qualifies as SA: Superior Camoflage

I don't recall the specific location, but at one time there was a facility that had grass planted on its roof, manicured to look like a golf course, and a couple of guys were paid to play golf on it all day!

I heard rumors from Warner Bros. that They painted very large white arrows on there rooftop pointing at the Lockheed plant so nobody would mistake Warner for the plant. They didn't give me any photos to back it up though.:D

Boeing actually did something similar at Plant 2 in Seattle (across from what's now the Museum of Flight)--many pilots had jitters at landing on what looked like a country road, as the runway was disguised...
