    Yeah, saw those pics in the '70s. The publishers like to play games with us.

    Be a bit gentle. These are new to some folks, so I guess a pass is in order here, While many of us have seen these photos, a newcomer might not be aware of that.

    Exactly. I have never heard of this before and I just thought this could be interesting to share.

    Best was early war Warner Bros Studio which, fearing it would be bombed, had a big arrow on its roof and the words, "Lockeed thataway!" Neither Lockeed nor the War Department were amused and Warner Bros painted over it.
