      I'm sure a suicides Japanese bomber plane would get close enough to spot a fake town. Then again a suicide bomber was proven not to be an effective war tactic. So much, for military Intelligence.

    Thanks, Castlepaloma for your comments. The Japanese never attacked the US after Pearl Harbour. So we don't know whether the American tactic would have worked for sure. But it was an astounding effort.

    What a fascinating article!  The set designers were ingenious in setting up those fake towns that would have appeared as real from the air.  Thanks for the education today, Ravi, and to Misbah for sharing it.

    Ravi always creates interesting articles. This one is no exception. It was also educational for me. I had never heard of the impressive “towns” that he’s described before. Thank you for sharing the article, Misbah.
