This photograph captures a mid-twentieth-century aircraft manufacturing complex, its rooftops still bearing the irregular checkerboard camouflage pattern painted during World War II to obscure the buildings from enemy air reconnaissance. Numbered 'Building 22,' the Art Deco-style plant entrance and the era-appropriate automobiles in the parking lot suggest the image dates to the early-to-mid 1950s, when many wartime aircraft plants remained in active production for the emerging jet age and Cold War defense contracts.
