This is a bit of light relief from an internal web site here at Netscape.
Apparently, it has been excerpted from "Masquerade: The Amazing Camouflage
Deceptions of World War II," Seymour Reit (Signet, 1980):

Another enemy decoy, built in occupied Holland, led to a tale that has been
told and retold ever since by veteran Allied pilots. The German "airfield,"
constructed with meticulous care, was made almost entirely of wood.

There were wooden hangars, oil tanks, gun emplacements, trucks, and aircraft.

The day finally came when the decoy was finished, down to the last wooden
plank. And early the following morning, a lone RAF plane crossed the Channel,
came in low, circled the field once, and dropped a large wooden bomb.
(yet another ripoff from http://www.netfunny.com/)
