Largely Air Force Base, Virginia: Headquarters United States Air Force, 1987. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Format is approximately 8 inches by 6 inches. x, 346 pages. Illustrations (photographs and diagrams). Two staples and two-hole punched on left side. Minor cover wear noted. The purpose of this guide is to provide users with a readily available pictorial guide of major aircraft operation in the European Theater. Recognition Guides were also going to be produced on major ground and naval weapon systems. Use of these guides was intended to provide general recognition information on all major weapon systems in the theater. In instances were there was a major recognition difference between the basic model and a variant, both systems are shown. Included in this manual was the best unclassified photography available at the time of publication. While unclassified, at the time of publication, the information was for official use within the U.S. Government and distribution was limited to U.S. Government Agencies. Other users needed to submit requests to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Foreign Disclosure Branch. More

B&W Technical Services Y-12 LLC, 2014. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Pamphlet. 12 pages, plus covers. Illustrations (color). The Y-12 National Security Complex is a United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration facility located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, near the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It was built as part of the Manhattan Project for the purpose of enriching uranium for the first atomic bombs. It is considered the birthplace of the atomic bomb. In the years after World War II, it has been operated as a manufacturing facility for nuclear weapons components and related defense purposes. The Y-12 facility began operating in November 1943, separating uranium-235 from natural uranium, which is 99.3% uranium-238, by using calutrons to perform electromagnetic isotope separation. Y-12 separated the uranium-235 for Little Boy, the nuclear weapon that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. K-25, another facility in Oak Ridge, produced enriched uranium using gaseous diffusion. However, K-25 did not begin operating until March 1945 and fed slightly enriched uranium to Y-12's Beta Calutrons as the push to obtain enough uranium 235 for Little Boy came in the early summer of 1945.
