Nostalgia & History > New Orleans aerial pic, 1943Date: 03/19/25 16:58 New Orleans aerial pic, 1943 Author: timz A vertical, from 15000 ft it says, but it's sharp enough
to be worthwhile. Click on it and it will enlarge. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/23940617 This must be a new shipyard? https://catalog.archives.gov/id/23940619 Edited 1 time(s).

N&W Lamberts Point There are also several aerials of RR facilities captured in the '20s of Alexandria VA depot and various yards. Neat stuff! |
