Starfish sites were large-scale night-time decoys created during the Blitz to simulate burning British cities. The aim was to divert German night bombers from their intended targets so they would drop their ordnance over the countryside. The sites were an extension of Colonel John Turner's decoy programme for airfields and factories (code named "Q" Sites). Following the bombing, and near destruction, of Coventry in November 1940, Turner was tasked with creating decoys for seven major cities.Free picture 1940 Aerial Photo, England, UK, Control Bunker, Decoy Fire Site, AA Battery Operation Starfish integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
