Anti Aircraft Installations in 1950's Chicago

Cecil's Columns/Staff Reports

I remember the Nike & Hercules sites on the Lake Front; however, there was an installation in my neighborhood around 107th Street & South Morgan Street. I had the pleasure of serving in Vietman with a guy that was stationed at this site in the fifties. Can you give me any information about the unit? Such as it’s name and duration at that location. I think the weapons were 90mm guns.

I was quite young but I know a military installation when I see one. I think the weapons were 90mm anti aircraft guns.

Um, maybe not the wrong forum – is this in response to Cecil’s Column:

Were there Nike missile sites on the Chicago lakefront? ?
