为 敌 人 引 路

after japan's sneak attack on pearl harbor in december 1941, many californians feared that japanese bombers could strike the mainland. blackouts were enforced and air-raid drills undertaken to prepare the area for the worst. among the most worried los angelenos was warner brothers chief jack warner. well aware that the lockheed aircraft plant in burbank, just blocks from his studio, was certain to be a high-value target, he was horrified one day to have someone point out that, from the air, a japanese bomber might not be able to tell the difference.

warner promptly visited the studio's paint shop and ordered the erection of an enormous sign on the roof of a soundstage: a twenty-foot arrow pointing to burbank bearing the words "lockheed - that-away".
