Who's Yehoodi?
The catchphrase "Who's Yehoodi?" (or "Who's Yehudi?") originated when Jewish violinist Yehudi Menuhin was a guest on the popular radio program ''The Pepsodent Show'' hosted by Bob Hope, where sidekick Jerry Colonna, apparently finding the ethnic name inherently funny, repeatedly asked "Who's Yehudi?" Colonna continued the gag on later shows even though Menuhin himself was not a guest, turning "Yehudi" into a widely understood late 1930s slang reference for a mysteriously absent person. The United States Navy chose the name "Project Yehudi" for an early 1940s precursor to stealth technology, also known as Yehudi lights. A song with the title and catchphrase "Who's Yehoodi?" was written in 1940 by Bill Seckler and Matt Dennis. It was covered by Kay Kyser and more famously by Cab Calloway. The final stanza of the song is: The little man who wasn’t there Said he heard him on the air No one seems to know from where But who's Yehoodi? Yehoodi makes an "appearance" in the 1941 W ...

Yehudi Lights
Yehudi lights are lamp (electrical component), lamps of automatically controlled brightness placed on the front and leading edges of an aircraft to raise the aircraft's luminance to the average brightness of the sky, a form of active camouflage using counter-illumination. They were designed to aircraft camouflage, camouflage the aircraft by preventing it from appearing as a dark object against the sky. The technology was developed by the US Navy from 1943 onwards, to enable a sea-search aircraft to approach a surfaced submarine to "within 30 seconds of flying time" before becoming visible to the submarine's crew. This in turn enabled the aircraft to engage the submarine with depth charges before it could dive, to counter the Battle of the Atlantic, threat from German submarines to allied shipping. The concept was based on earlier research by the Royal Canadian Navy in its diffused lighting camouflage project. Yehudi lights were unused in the war and were made obsolete by advance ...
