    Look at an infantryman's eyes and you can tell how much war he has seen.

    Tangosix,

    Yours looks way too chaotic to be an US aircraft factory - it's got a distinctly British look about it. I think that it could be the Vickers V.1000 prototype which was 80% complete when it was cancelled in 1955.
