Atlas, Titan and Polaris are nearly all paid up. Atlas is already being phased out; 27 of the hard-to-handle liquid-fueled missiles are scheduled to be removed from "soft" surface sites at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base, Wyoming's Warren A.F.B. and Nebraska's Offutt A.F.B. by mid-1965. New-missile procurement is limited to 50 advanced Minuteman II missiles, capable, with their 9,000-mile range, of hitting Red Chinese targets from sites on the West Coast. Another 950 Minutemen will be in hardened under ground emplacements...
Kiddie Cars if Necessary. In early U.S. tests, recalls an Air Force general, liquid-fueled Atlas missiles "were blowing up like tin cans." But later improvements have raised the success average to about 70% . Of 199 Atlas firings, 137 have been successful. For liquid-fueled Titan I, the score reported by the Air Force is 47 successes, ten partial successes, seven failures. For Titan II, just becoming operational: 19 successes, seven partial successes, one failure. For the solid-fueled, Minuteman: 45 successes, eleven partial successes, nine failures...
Cameras now work on assembly lines, inside missiles, in farm fields and in beauty parlors, saving their users millions of dollars and hundreds of man-hours. They range from giants that can photograph full-scale engineering layouts to high-speed models with liquid shutters that can take pictures at the rate of 100 million a second and stop a light beam in midair. In only five years the sales of cameras and supplies to industry and government have jumped from $360 million to $630 million, almost half the entire business of the $1.4 billion photographic industry...
...Strategic Air Command last week took operational control of two new nine-bird squadrons of Titan II missiles at the Little Rock, Ark., Air Force Base. These are the last liquid-fueled intercontinental missiles scheduled for the U.S. arsenal. With the U.S. now well into the phase of second-generation missiles, the heavy emphasis is on the solid-fueled birds-land-based Minutemen and submarine-borne Polaris missiles. Herewith the U.S.'s fabulous strategic missile roster. A red dot · means operational...
