"I would find it believable if the rumor was that the US Army built a never used Air Defense missile complex at 76th Street disguised as an abandoned subway station. Similar to the 5th ADA Brigade HQ located inside the hill at Twin Lights in Highlands, NJ."My brother was a member of the 9th Regiment of NY Army National Guard in the 1950/60's, and assigned to the 244th ADA Battalion (Lido Beach). One of his accounts was that prior to the US Army deploying Nike missile batteries to protect New York City, the Army had 120mm Anti-Aircraft gun batteries that ringed the city. One such battery was located near, or at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens." Something new has been added! |
