Snopes Says ‘Nope.’  So does Federal Highway Administration:

Eisenhower did see it for defense but it was never designated for landing strips – according to them.  Fun idea though.  Not sure about air traffic control, fueling, etc…

The National Highway system was conceived by Eisenhower and was intended to provide long enough stretches of road that a plane could land on the highway (I think).

Guernica Redox

Here is a question for all  - put a brainstorm on the wall.

 

Mathews and my father both served in the Pacific in WW2 - The repercussions of the war created the

Ecumenical Institutes both in Europe and the US.

How did the war change things like agriculture? Food needed to be packaged to last and be transported.

Labor was in short supply - were we making tanks and better tractors? After the big war , American aid was

often tied to the purchase of American Farm machinery, and the gentle subsistence (environmentally better?)

agriculture was seen as "primitive".

 I can't remember - but I think our national highways were somehow seen as 

"military".

We gridded territory politically -- I like griding according to watershed so that people can see how what

happens upstream effects downstream.

 

I think the new face of Guernica needs to include the fish we can not eat.....etc
