Guffalo Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Try the app "Whatwasthere" very cool. Allows you to locate a building or area where you are located and "see" through your phone what was there (some locations have multiple dates of the pictures) Line up the image on the screen against what is in front of you and you can see what was changed over the years. its free, give it a try if you like history.

I knew it was an airplane manufacturing center, but never heard of how many subassemblies and parts they made in the different plants (never even heard of the Chevy plant converted to aero-engine production - six months ahead of schedule, no less.) I might just take some time to research and maybe write a book on the full scope of WNY's war work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because that's the message I want to send. "Written while drunk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
