...some 40 ships and 100 aircraft of Joint Task Force 8 deployed over 6,000,000 sq. mi. of the Pacific. One of those aircraft, an Air Force B-52, sped at high altitude toward the island. In the operations center, Dominic's scientific director, William Elwood Ogle, wearing khaki shorts and a green aloha shirt, nodded to Joint Task Force 8's commander, Major General Alfred Dodd Starbird, a tough, tall (6 ft. 5 in.) veteran of atomic testing at Eniwetok and former chief of military applications...

A disciple of flamboyant ex-Ford Stylist George Walker (TIME cover, Nov. 4, 1957), New Jersey-born Designer Engel was largely responsible for the clean, squared-off 1961 Lincoln.
