Just reading around p. 99 of History of Sig Corps in W2, V3.

Talked radar jamming & deception there.  Deployment of small fleed
near Dieppe that flew radar-reflecting baloons & employed 'sonic
deception/warfare' which used "stentorian loudspeakers" to sound like 
much larger assembly.

I got to thinking Navy PAB-1 Beachmaster, a topic bandied here months
back.

Look at

for another view.  And return to

for more stuff.

What an audacious system.

Yes I know, pun
