The missiles carried the largest nuclear warhead in the US arsenal; used liquid fuel propellant; and were launched from hardened underground silos in Arkansas, Arizona, and Kansas. They were deployed in the 1950s and deactivated in the early 1980s, and have been used since then to launch satellites. Research scientist Stumpf (U.of Arizona) draws from interviews, memoirs, recently declassified documents, and other public materials to tell the tale. Annotation c.

Hardback. Condizione: New. 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 II 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.
