Family Visits Light Observation Helicopter During Open House, Naval Air Station Los Alamitos, California
Visitors examine a bubble-canopy light observation helicopter, tail number 76, during a public open house at U.S. Naval Air Station Los Alamitos, California, in the early 1950s. Public air shows and static displays like this one were a common way for postwar naval reserve stations to build community goodwill and generate recruiting interest. Project: 218645
