Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Explores the rise and decay of a pivotal Cold War military site, filled with rare photos and history.For fifty years, Blytheville was home to a fleet of one of the most versatile pieces of machinery in history. From the Cuban Missile Crisis, through the Vietnam War and Korean Conflict, to the fall of the Iron Curtain in the early nineties, B-52 Stratofortresses cruised the sky, and stayed on alert to be America's first line of defense. Now that America no longer has a need for its "Global Shield," many United States Air Force bases lay dormant and decaying, sinking into the earth from which they came. From its early beginnings as farmland to a highly secure, fiercely patrolled Strategic Air Command base, to overgrown lawns and decrepit buildings filled with asbestos, to becoming the site of the National Cold War Center, follow along as author Gage Fears digs up history on a crucial part of Arkansas and military history to tell the story of the long abandoned Eaker Air Force Base. Abandoned Arkansas: Eaker Air Force Base is a unique collection containing new information and rare photographs.

Silent Sentinels chronicles the 308th Strategic Missile Wing's pivotal role shaping Cold War deterrence and missile safeguards.During World War II, Nazi-occupied Germany created a weapon that the world had never seen: The V-2. In 1950, Russia created the first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with the United States installing the first of fifty-four nuclear-tipped ICBMs in December 1962. Eighteen of these were installed in Arkansas, with the 308th Strategic Missile Wing responsible for the maintenance and safeguarding of them. Silent Sentinels dives into the history of the 308th from its beginnings in the China-Burma-India theater, to its deactivation in 1987, and its reactivation as an armament development wing in the twenty-first century. This book holds unseen photos and information from the August 9, 1965, silo fire that killed fifty-three civilian contractors, the infamous Damascus silo explosion caused by a PTS crew member dropping a large socket into the silo which ruptured a tank, to the many awards and honors held by one of the most decorated missile wings to date.
