The fear of Japanese attacks on the west coast was at a fever pitch after Pear Harbor. A lot of things where done to prepare for the Nipponeses hordes.

Some great HD aerial footage of the USNTPS fleet-
What I can't figure out was how they thought the Japanese were going to have enough intel to know that there was or wasn't a plant there. From today's perspective, this makes a lot of sense. Someone is flying over our territory and taking pictures (airplane or satellite). But back then, it's not like we wouldn't have known someone was overflying the area. Maybe civilian "spies?" Still, pretty neat.
I own the DVDThings were under control.
If you know Boeing is in Seattle, but don't know the exact building, odds are that pilots would target industrial looking buildings in hopes of hitting a high payoff target.
So, it makes sense to plade camouflage nets over the building to complicate the targetting process if Japan was able to launch a carrier strike from just off the west coast.
I wish. . . I've only got it on Betamax and Laser Disc :-(I own the DVD
