Image Info

During World War II observation posts were set-up in coastal states as part of our civil defense program. This observation post was erected on the roof of Forster Mfg. Co.'s warehouse, where volunteer observers would scan the sky with the naked eye and binoculars for any signs of aerial threats to national security.
