Now this is something my husband and I had NEVER seen before. When I showed him the photo tonight, he was as floored as I was. Now that's really something when something from WWII wow's both of us, since we are pretty well versed in the history.
This photo is from the Anzio book I just bought this week titled, Anzio 1944 - The Beleaguered Beachhead.
"One of the more intriguing Allied innovations used at Anzio was the addition of a flight deck to LST's by 3rd Division Engineers. This permitted L-4 observation aircraft to fly artillery observation missions from offshore when airbases were not available in the beachhead." Photo provided by NARA
