I did several edits to make the scope of this article more general, and added links to other articles on the U.S. Coast Artillery, which manned the fire control towers. I also removed the category reference to WW2 Sites, since that category seems to include sites which were involved in enemy action. ( talk) 23:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Added images of a brick fire control tower at Fort Andrews and twin towers located in Nahant, MA. Also corrected attribution of U.S. Army photo of observation instruments. Pgrig ( talk) 13:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Article was re-written and the selection of images greatly expanded/edited. In-line images were added. Pgrig ( talk) 17:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Fire Control Tower is defined here as being part of the US coastal defence. The Atlantic Wall is a comparable coastal defense in Europe and obviously has its own Fire Control Towers. There are likely other examples elsewhere, so shouldn't the article be split in a general FCT part and a US-specific FCT part? We ran into this when trying to provide photos of European Fire Control Towers in Fotopedia (which uses the Wikipedia article collection as a backbone). VdHamer ( talk) 08:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
