The USS Kitty Hawk and a good look at the
Wright Brothers and what the two had in common.
Republic of the Philippines, following 61-Day Line Period in Tonkin Gulf.When: February 1968
From the Webmaster: Look at the three on the side of the tower. Notice, at the bottom of the three, there is a piece of yellow gear. Just to the right of the yellow gear is a door. You can see the size of this structure. At the top of the picture is the fifth floor. This is actually a huge metal building filled with high tech stuff. I don't see it, but, when I was stationed on
the ship, in 1977 and 1978, there were rectangular a bronze plaque at the
far right side of the tower and another one located at the extreme left
side of the tower, out of the frame of this picture. These
plaques talked about the first powered From recent photos
and conversations with Kitty Hawk crew members, the plaques no longer exist.
