Prop Town: Fake Rooftop Suburb Hid Whole WW II Airplane Factory!

[Malaria_Kidd II]

One may rarely get a chance to use the Conan O'brian approval clip but this one required it. Along with us appreciating the Washington state truck driver who sold all that land to Boeing in Seattle for $1.

It did take a village, to best even those evil, scheming nazis on camouflaging an airplane factory.

It did take a village,

"Wow" is right MK.

I don't think that this is what was meant when Hillary referred to a village.........

That's incredible!!

Gotta give those WWII aircraft manufacturers credit, they really knew how to get 'er done and keep 'em flying - As a sidebar here's a comedy short about three independent 'plane crazy' operators trying to break into the big time !!!


DIZZY PILOTS (1943)
The Stooges are the Wrong Brothers, working on their revolutionary airplane "The Buzzard," which they hope to sell to the Army. When the Buzzard flops, the boys are drafted and have to deal with a fiery drill sergeant.

Hey kbot! You jumped right on that one! I actually first printed out "It takes a village" and that was stuck in my mind knowing it was a book's title but I had forgotten it's author. Then I thought I'd better change it to what you read.

Even though you added the authors name to jog my memory, aw shucks, now for sure, I'll forget it as soon as I get up from this sugar maple chair I'm sitting in.
