Huell Howser Visits Fort MacArthur, circa 1942

[Page-Hendryx]

This is an old clip from Huell's great show "California's Gold", where he explores Fort MacArthur and its coast artillery positions, and talks to seasoned citizens who were present during the "Battle of Los Angeles". At the end of the segment they fire up a vintage WWII searchlight and light up a blimp.
