Description
Group of veteran pipeliners stringing pipe for emergency by-pass loop in Arkansas. The by-pass loop restored major oil movement to the East which was disrupted by a flood on the Arkansas River. Many pipeliners worked 24 hours at a stretch to help complete the by-pass loop quickly. Five hundred veteran pipeliners volunteered to build the 8-mile by-pass of the flood break in the "Big Inch". All workers unidentified.
