An exerpt from SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN magazine, May 1908 (that’s right 1908 - 100 years ago…)
“Soon after the first reports were received regarding the flights being made by the Wright brothers in testing their aeroplane, a considerable number of newspaper correspondents visited the scene of the trials among the high and pointed sand dunes of the North Carolina coast south of Norfolk, Virginia. The brothers refused to make any flights, however, when the reporters were near at hand, and so the gentlemen of the press were obliged to keep in hiding nearly a mile away from the scene of operations, and to merely watch the machine from afar through spyglasses when it was flying.”
The term OPSEC may have been coined by the original Purple Dragon crew but many examples of OPSEC in action resound throughout history - this is but one more.
