Sandia Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico: Defense Atomic Support Agency, Field Command, Nuclear Training Directorate, 1969. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Staple bound at left side. vi, 24, [2] pages. Illustrated front cover. Illustrations. Minor wear. The Table of Contents has an Introduction and sections on: Nike-Hercules Battery, Improved Nike-Hercules, Scheme of Operation of Nike-Hercules System During Engagement, Nike-Hercules Guided Missile, Assembly and Service Area, Launching Area, Battery Control Area, Field Displacement, and Conclusions. The eleven illustrations are: Nike-Hercules in Flight, Nike-Hercules Missile Battery Site, Nike-Hercules Missile and Rocket Motor Cluster, Fin Orientation, M409 Container, Missile Body and Dolly truck, Launcher-Handling Rail with Rocket Motor Cluster, Nike-Hercules Launcher, Acquisition Radar, Tracking Radars, and Ready-Round Transports for Field Firing. The Nike-Hercules was developed to provide the air defense systems with an improved weapon to accomplish the task of denying penetration of our defenses. With the Nike-Hercules system, targets could be detected, fired upon, and destroyed with either high explosive or nuclear warheads, at rangers greater then 75 miles. The capability of carrying a nuclear warhead to the kill point further increased the lethality of the Nike systems and, for the first time, provided a a deadly weapon for use against formations of aircraft. This publication was intended for home study and reference by students attending the Nuclear Weapons Maintenance Course, Army Weapons Division, Nuclear Training Directorate, Field Command. An understanding of the facts herein was deemed essential for the proper comprehension of classroom instruction in these courses. More

Washington DC: U. S. Navy, Bureau of Aeronautics, c1943. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Two-hole punched. 32 pages, plus covers. Illustrated front cover. Illustrations. Glossary. The booklet was designed to point out some of the flight problems involved in negotiating the type of weather conditions that are associated with the warm front. This booklet will inform the aviation cadet about the characteristics of the warm front. A warm front is the leading edge of a warm air mass that is replacing a colder air mass. A warm front is depicted by a red line with half-moons pointing the direction of its motion. Like cold fronts, warm fronts also extend from the center of low-pressure areas, but nearly always on their east side. Warm fronts move slowly, typically 10 to 25 miles per hour. Generally, prior to the passage of a warm front, cirriform or stratiform clouds, along with fog, can be expected to form along the frontal boundary. Light to moderate precipitation is probable, usually in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or drizzle, accentuated by poor visibility. More
