Not exactly sure when this picture was taken, but the final model of the site (this *might* be it) was produced in March 1966. My 'knowledge' of the buildings is scant to be honest......... I see that the *idea* for a World Trade Centre goes back to 1943!!!! and that initial planning for the site started in 1961.

I had no idea the planning of the twin towers went that far back.

Wow! I had no idea and I’ve been to NYC and the site countless times!
The above info was from Wiki..... I only scanned it briefly.
I'm about to start City in the Sky: The Rise and Fall of the World Trade Center by James Glanz. The history of the complex is really interesting.
I'll look forward to your review.
