Bomb Test

from SDASM Archives

• Alan Roesler said:

  The First Brigade, including the 96th Bombardment Squadron and the 49th Pursuit Squadron, commanded by Major Henry J. F. Miller, had been sent to Langley Field, Virginia by train to take part in Naval ordnance tests between the Air Service and the Navy to be held in the vicinity of Langley Field from June 20 to July 21, 1921. During this practice bombing exercise, they sank the German battleship Ostfriesland on July 21.

  Clearly, this photo belongs in another collection, not this one. The BB5 Kearsarge (commissioned in 1900) was converted to a crane ship in 1920 (see photo in the link below), was moved from the west coast to the Boston Naval Shipyard in 1948, and was scrapped in 1955. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USS_Kearsarge_as_crane_sh...

  Written on the negative is 4/10/25 or 4/20/25. About this time, the Navy was planning an exercise to capture a Hawaiian island, with the opposition being from a naval base on the island. See NYT of April 5 1925 timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1925/04/05/10165426... with headline "SEEK COORDINATION IN PACIFIC WAR PLAY Army and Navy Manoeuvres Will Put Theories to Practical Test, Says Gen. Hines. AIM IS TO 'TAKE' HAWAII Army Chief of Staff Will Leave Today to Act as Chief Umpire With Admiral Coontz." In NYT of May 10, 1925, a long piece about the exercises, timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1925/05/10/10166412... names the California as the flagship of the "Blue" fleet.
