Mr. Cronkite also hosted two other excellent stories that were featured on the "Caterpillar Through The Years" tapes, that were released some years ago.
One was "The Eighth Sea", the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway, a monumental project for sure!

After viewing that last film about the Seabees extending the runway I now realize I miss-understood what a "wingman" was. I always thought they had there own plane but now I see they just sat out on the wing tip! 😊

I thought it was the comic relief guy that helped win the girl? "You've lost that lovin' feeling..."
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Enjoy.
Just my 0.02.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
