1920's Roating beacon and tower


Tucson, Arizona (AZ), US
Rotating beacons were used to make night flying safer. Visible from 40 miles, beacons also identified obstructions and distance from origin on airways. This tower and light are much like the "Lindy Light" dedicated in 1927 by Charles A. Lindbergh at Davis Monthan Field.
