An aerial view from a Kansas National Guard plane piloted by Joe Rosacker, shows flooding at an unidentified location along the Kansas River. During June and July of 1951, extremely heavy rains caused some of the greatest flooding ever seen in Kansas history. These high waters affected all the river basins of the Kansas, Neosho, Marais des Cygnes and Verdigris Rivers.
