Wonder if we still have the capability to do something like this, or has technology made it pointless?

Perhaps you have seen these pictures before ... if not, this is the way that at Walt Disney's suggestion, they covered the Lockheed airplane factories with netting so that they would be camophlaged during WWII. It was feared that the Japanese could get an aircraft carrier close enough to bomb the Lockheed factory. These pictures are really pretty fantastic!
They were sent to me by someone who lived in the L.A. area at that time.
He wrote the following:
Lockheed During WWII
Lockheed During WW.II (unbelievable 1940s pictures) This is pretty neat--special effects during
the 1940's: I have never seen these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect us.
During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft
Plant to protect it from Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air. Besides everything else, check out the cars.
