Summary:
|
Photo taken before May 1917 of Burgess N-9 seaplanes lined up along the pier at NAS Pensacola. Men can be seen wandering the pier and one on the right side of the photo is riding a bicycle. The closest plane to the camera, on the right, has a stylized anchor logo on its tail. Naval History and Heritage Command states that "Before the United States entered into World War I, naval aircraft were identified by an anchor design on the vertical tail surface, the use of which continued to the time a National Aircraft Insignia was adopted." |
