“Aerial view of V.A.B. construction.”
An unassumingly exquisite photograph. The detail/resolution is phenomenal, let alone the subject matter. Just the overall enormity. Look at the massive girders laid out in front of the VAB - and the quantity - not to mention those already in place. The number, sizes & variety of cranes. The range of identifiable gorgeous vintage automobiles…everything from the Corvette front-and-center at the bottom, to Cadillacs, Nashes, Beetles & MORE. On the horizon to the left, you can even make out detail in the newly constructed Solid Motor Assembly Building (SMAB), part of the Integrate - Transfer - Launch (ITL) complex/facility, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS)! “COLBY CRANE” legible on the housing of the Launcher Umbilical Tower (LUT) hammerhead crane on the right. And more.
The body of water to the left of & behind the VAB will become the turning basin.
Pretty awesome. Nineteen Sixty-Four (1964).
