Lockheed put Kelly Johnson in a rented circus tent beside the Burbank airport with orders to build a jet fighter in 180 days. He did it in 143. The same secretive shop went on to produce the U-2, the SR-71 and the first stealth aircraft, on the principle that a small team left alone will beat a large one supervised.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
