1938 aerial view of East area featuring the towing tank in the foreground. So long that the curvature of the earth had to be taken into account during construction, the towing tank was used for investigations of floats and hulls and determining their resistance to motion through water. In left center is the NACA hangar, with the distinctive white lettering on the roof. The Full Scale and 12 foot tunnels are visible at extreme left.
