Add to basketCondition: Good. 1st Edition. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. . [2], 10 pages. Illustrations. Broad area map of the Trinity Site and surrounding area is facing page 1. Map of the site on page 10. The image on the front page is of the world's first atomic device as it waited in the shelter atop the 100-foot steel tower. The text describers the first atomic test, Jumbo, and the George McDonald Ranch Hours. This is followed by End Notes, Bibliography and a short description of The National Atomic Museum. Photographs appear on pages 7, 8, and 9. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the USAAF Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, now part of White Sands Missile Range. The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. A base camp was constructed, and there were 425 people present on the weekend of the test. The code name "Trinity" was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, inspired by the poetry of John Donne. The test was of an implosion-design plutonium device, informally nicknamed "The Gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. The complexity of the design required a major effort from the Los Alamos Laboratory, and concerns about whether it would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test. The test was planned and directed by Kenneth Bainbridge. Fears of a fizzle did lead to the construction of a steel containment vessel called Jumbo that could contain the plutonium, allowing it to be recovered, although ultimately this was not used in the test. A rehearsal was held on May 7, 1945, in which 108 short tons (96 long tons; 98 t) of high explosive spiked with radioactive isotopes were detonated. The Gadget's detonation released the explosive energy of about 25 kilotons of TNT (100 TJ). Observers included Vannevar Bush, James Chadwick, James Conant, Thomas Farrell, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, Leslie Groves, Robert Oppenheimer, Geoffrey Taylor, Richard Tolman, Edward Teller, and John von Neumann. The test site was declared a National Historic Landmark district in 1965, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year.

Add to basketWraps. Condition: Good. Revised Edition. Staplebound at left side. 148 pages. Figures (including photographs and drawings/diagrams) and tables. Name in ink on front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. This publication was provided for resident instruction at the U. S, Army Missile and Munitions Center and School. It reflects the then current thought of the school and conformed to printed Department of the Army doctrine as closely as possible. The mission of the US Army Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center & School is to ensure the combat commander is supported during Army, joint and combined operations by developing doctrine, materiel, CSS concepts, requirements, and organizational structure. The School is also tasked with producing mission focused, motivated ordnance officers, warrant officers, soldiers, and civilians who are technically competent in the munitions management, explosive ordnance disposal, electronic and missile maintenance, and test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment arenas. Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is a United States Army post and a census-designated place (CDP) adjacent to Huntsville in Madison County, Alabama, United States and is part of the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area. The Arsenal is a garrison for a number of tenants including the United States Army Materiel Command, Army's Aviation and Missile Command, the Missile Defense Agency of the Department of Defense, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. RSA has benefited from decisions by the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The Redstone Arsenal CDP had a population of 1,946 as of the 2010 census. The base contains a government and contractor workforce that averages 36,000 to 40,000 personnel daily. Originally a chemical weapons manufacturing facility for World War II, in the immediate post-war era it became home to the German rocket scientists that were brought to the US as part of Operation Paperclip. The team first worked on ballistic missiles, starting with V-2 rocket derivatives before moving on to a series of ever larger designs. Many of their tests were carried out at White Sands Missile Range and flights between the two locations were common. In late 1956 the Army was relieved of most of its ballistic missiles in favor of similar weapons operated by the US Air Force. The German design team was then spun off to become part of the newly founded NASA. Redstone served as the primary site for space launch vehicle design into the 1960s. In March 1952, the commanding officer at Redstone Arsenal officially established the Provisional Redstone Ordnance School. In December, the Ordnance Guided Missile School (OGMS) was established, taking over the provisional operation. The OGMS greatly expanded through the years, occupying a large land area with many buildings and providing a wide variety of missile and munitions courses for thousands of students from the U.S. as well as many foreign countries. The name was later changed to the Missile and Munitions Center & School in 1966 and then to the Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School in the mid-1980s. In 1994, the School Brigade disbanded and was replaced by the reformed 59th Ordnance Brigade, which had previously disbanded in Europe in 1992. The school was then renamed the Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School in 2002 and moved to Fort Lee in 2011.…

Contact seller5-star sellerU.S. Army missile testing and range operations photo archive, 1957 to 1959, documenting the personnel, mobile equipment, fueling procedures, launch preparation, range infrastructure, and actual firings that supported guided missile operations associated with Fort Bliss and the Army's southern New Mexico ranges. Fort Bliss had become the Army's antiaircraft training center during World War II and developed into a principal center for guided missile instruction during the Cold War, with trained missile crews traveling onto New Mexico firing ranges for live exercises. Rather than concentrating exclusively on missiles in flight, the photographs record the field organization required to put them there: propellant trucks, cranes, launch structures, transport vehicles, protective clothing, range camps, and crews working around missiles marked "U.S. Army." Archive of 12 Large silver gelatin photographs printed on eight sheets, each approximately 8 x 10 inches, Fort Bliss, Texas and associated southern New Mexico firing ranges, 1957 to 1959. Several sheets carry Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., Photographic Dept., California Division stamps, negative numbers, dates, photographer credits, and restrictions against release for publicity without prior approval. A February 18, 1957 photograph credited to Oscar G. Souza identifies an "Army propellant fueling truck" pulling into a firing area with crew standing by, while another image shows men in protective suits handling hoses beside heavy vehicles and missile support equipment. Launch preparation appears in photographs of a tall missile marked "U.S. Army" standing vertically in its launcher as soldiers work around its base, and in a multi-image sheet showing cranes, trucks, handling apparatus, and successive stages of field preparation. Two large photographs capture missiles climbing through clouds immediately after launch, their exhaust plumes recording the transition from ground operation to flight. Range views establish the physical environment surrounding these activities: rows of barracks and service buildings spread across open desert beneath mountain ranges, roads linking dispersed facilities, and a cylindrical storage structure standing above one camp. A photograph dated April 13, 1959 is captioned "General view of Oro Grande Range Camp, N.M., taken from Elephant Mountain," directly locating part of the group within the New Mexico range system associated with Fort Bliss. Other prints retain handwritten negative numbers in their lower margins. The photographs belong to the decade in which guided missiles altered the organization of American air defense and forced the Army to train soldiers not simply as artillerymen but as operators of increasingly technical weapons systems. Fort Bliss trained Nike missile crews that traveled north into New Mexico to complete live firing exercises, while its range network provided the acreage and controlled space necessary to operate weapons whose requirements extended far beyond a conventional artillery emplacement. Oro Grande formed part of the northern Fort Bliss range complex, with its camp supporting units conducting testing and training in the surrounding ranges. The Firestone photographic markings add the presence of a major defense contractor to this record of Army operations and show that at least part of the photographic documentation was produced within the industrial network supporting Cold War weapons programs. Light surface wear, handling marks, occasional edge creasing and minor corner wear; stamps, typed captions, negative numbers, and publication restrictions remain legible. Overall very good condition. An operational record of the personnel, machinery, infrastructure, and procedures required for U.S. Army missiles.…

Contact seller5-star sellerThis exceptionally dense technical archive documents U.S. Army rocket and missile development during the height of the Cold War and Vietnam War, originating from the estate of a retired aerospace engineer, Thomas T. Howell, affiliated with the U.S. Army Missile Command, with direct work conducted at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The materials capture the applied, test-driven reality of American rocketry at the moment when battlefield rocket systems, solid-fuel propulsion, and rapid-deployment tactical missiles became central to U.S. military doctrine. Of particular importance is the archive's sustained focus on field testing, propulsion diagnostics, firing mechanisms, and structural integrity analysis, with repeated references to multi-stage motors, booster threads, nozzle pressure profiles, thrust measurement, strain-gauge instrumentation, and dynamic propulsion testing under operational conditions. The presence of Vietnam-era documentation situates this archive squarely within the escalation of U.S. missile and rocket deployment in Southeast Asia, when systems such as the Little John rocket and related short-range artillery rockets were actively refined, tested, and evaluated for combat reliability. Collection includes; 2 original testing mechanisms; a 16mm film roll documenting a test launch; over 40 original photographs showcasing different testing sites and rocket units; over 40 hand drafted graphs on red paper; several hand written pages of calculations with formulas and schematics; several signed printed documents signed regarding the procedures for assembly static test flight weight booster motor components all dated in the summer of 1969; and a heavily annotated blueprint. Redstone Arsenal, established in the early Cold War and shaped by the integration of German rocket scientists after World War II, became the intellectual and engineering hub of U.S. Army missile work, where propulsion systems, launch mechanisms, instrumentation, and tactical doctrines were conceived, refined, and standardized. White Sands Missile Range, by contrast, functioned as the proving ground where theory met reality.
