Tribute , Plane View, Wichita

An area adjacent to Boeing, Wichita was used as a site for hurriedly built small homes for new workers at the start of World War 2. When I started as an engineer it was in the late 70's. In 2009 I went to Planeview to take pictures. After the war people started to leave and the area was what I saw was depressed, very much like what occurred on Route 66' It appeared as if time stood still, hence the mural.

Historical Mural it definitely tells a story from the past our flag is perfect in the frame.
Love Rosie the Riveter on the left and the embrace of soldier and wife.

A fascinating mural. Great that you documented it. It's probably gone by now. "V"

So nice to see farmers and lady maintaining the plane....using red for the sky adds a certain drama to the mural...V

I love the mural. Hopefully, it's still there in spite of the decline in population. V
