    Another thing they did in WWII was to “move a town” by turning off all the lights in the town, then building matching lights a few km away. From the air, all you could really see were the lights, and if they matched the pattern for the town you were looking to bomb, that’s where you dropped your bombs.

    All that stuff is obsolete now to due to GPS, better maps, etc.
