PDF-[EBOOK]-Titan II: A History of a Cold War Missile Program

The Titan II ICBM intercontinental ballistic missile program was developed by the United States military to bolster the size strength and speed of the nations strategic weapons arsenal in the 1950s and 1960s Each missile carried a single warhead the largest in US inventory used liquid fuel propellants and was stored and launched from hardened underground silos The missiles were deployed at basing facilities in Arkansas Arizona and Kansas and remained in active service for over twenty years Since military deactivation in the early 1980s the Titan II has served as a reliable satellite launch vehicleThis is the richly detailed story of the Titan II missile and the men and women who developed and operated the system David K Stumpf uses a wide range of sources drawing upon interviews with and memoirs by engineers and airmen as well as recently declassified government documents and other public materials Over 170 drawings and photographs most of which have never been published enhance the narrative The three major accidents of the program are described in detail for the first time using authoritative sourcesTitan Il will be welcomed by librarians for its prodigious reference detail by technology history professionals and laymen and by the many civilian and Air Force personnel who were involved in the program a deterrent weapons system that proved to be successful in defending America from nuclear attack. 103 Kerb Titan Kerb Titan Titan Kerb Type Prole Height (mm) Face Length (mm) Width (mm) Radius Covered (Meters) No, per Natalia Alvarez • .

The Titan II ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) program was developed by the United States military to bolster the size, strength, and speed of the nation\'s strategic weapons arsenal in the 1950s and 1960s. Each missile carried a single warhead -- the largest in U.S. inventory -- used liquid fuel propellants, and was stored and launched from hardened underground silos. The missiles were deployed at basing facilities in Arkansas, Arizona, and Kansas and remained in active service for over twenty years. Since military deactivation in the early 1980s, the Titan II has served as a reliable satellite launch vehicle.This is the richly detailed story of the Titan II missile and the men and women who developed and operated the system. David K. Stumpf uses a wide range of sources, drawing upon interviews with and memoirs by engineers and airmen as well as recently declassified government documents and other public materials. Over 170 drawings and photographs, most of which have never been published, enhance the narrative. The three major accidents of the program are described in detail for the first time using authoritative sources.Titan Il will be welcomed by librarians for its prodigious reference detail, by technology history professionals and laymen, and by the many civilian and Air Force personnel who were involved in the program -- a deterrent weapons system that proved to be successful in defending America from nuclear attack.
