The Richmond Filter Center began operating during World War II and continued into the Cold War. It was run by the military but enlisted civilian volunteers (mostly women) to spot and report aircraft flying over Richmond. The nation’s first 24-hour peacetime air raid alert system, called Operation Skywatch, began operation in July 1952. Courtesy Richmond Times-Dispatch
