Tower of History
A team of historians walks out to World War II airfield marker here Feb. 27, 2009. The marker sits in front of an old air traffic control tower which is scheduled to be demolished. Although the team was visiting to document the tower, they took the opportunity to study other historical structures as well. During the war, when hundreds of aircraft were flying over the airfields of East Anglia, pilots could look down and see these markers, “LK” represents RAF Lakenheath, and they’re used to be a big rotating sign to the left of it that Airmen could turn to tell pilots which runways to land on.
