Warbird Information Exchange

I'm looking for some solid information on MIT's research and testing during WWII of stealth technology for the US Navy. I haven't located anything solid that tells the whole story, but somebody here must have some idea of where I can find some info.
The Navy wanted a way to "cloak" or hide a sub-hunting aircraft so they could get closer to a surfaced enemy sub before the sub spotted them and dove.
Any takers out there?
Thanks.
Jerry

What do you know? Just checking before we send in the MiB.

Somewhere, I have a very good account of the efforts using paint, lights and rheostats to hide TBM and Liberators in tests, including a couple of photos, patent notes and modern drawings. Is that what you are thinking of?

James;
BINGO!
I haven't seen much on it and I'd like to know more. I guess they tried "hiding" the aircraft in a head-on position by adding lights on the leading edges and adjusting the intensity of them to match the intensity of the sky behind the aircraft, in effect, masking the aircraft until it was closer to it's target.
Do you have more specific info?
Thanks.
Jerry

Jerry-

Experiments using leading edge lights to mask a head-on attack were conducted at the Lewis Comfort Tiffany estate on LI, the estate is long gone but I believe the support structures for the experiements remain.
