AERIAL SHOTS OF FORT MILLS RADIO AND NCO BARRACKS (AROUND 1930), TOPSIDE ON CORREGIDOR ISLAND AND THE CROCKETT RAVINE AREA.
These 2 high resolution images was given to me by Karl Schmidt from the Coastal Defense Study Group (CDSG.org) who got the images from NARA.
The original images where cropped and all images were snipped (Window tool) which is like taking a screen shot of the original images and you get a greatly reduced byte count but the picture still looks the same. None of the pictures in the Flickr album were reduced in size. So, it is like I zoomed in on the snipped copies.
This series of 13 shots are numbered J1a to J13 and are placed in this Flickr album in alphabetical order.
