Pulling Down the Dirigible Mooring Mast at Ford Airport, 1946
01
Artifact Overview
Signals communicate messages from far away. They may take the form of a bonfire sending smoke signals, lanterns or maritime flags on a ship, or the tapped out sounds of Morse code. In this image, signaling flags are being used by men on the ground to guide a safe demolition of the airship mast at Ford Airport.
