This
web site is managed by the Army's Redstone Arsenal in
Alabama. The NIKE missile was developed at the Redstone
Arsenal.
This
Nike launch site is the only mechanically operational
site in the United States. Look for it at Fort Baker in
the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on the Marin County
side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bill
Shaw (W2HYN) was a Nike radar and computer technician
stationed at site PR-38 (Page 148) from 1956 to 1963. His
site has photographs and links to other Nike related web
sites.
Ed
Thelen's Nike Missile Web Site is the mother of all
web sites about the Nike missile system.
The
Nike missile Defense of Los Angeles is part a larger
potential historic district that made up the Harbor Defenses
of Los Angeles. We listed NIKE launch site LA-43 (Page 108)
on the California Register of Historic Places. But after
over half a decade trying to get the Los Angeles Department
of Recreation and Parks to understand the historic significance
of this site, we have finally decided that our efforts and
money would be better directed toward a site with an more
enlightened owner.
The
Detroit-Cleveland Defense Area is described at this
well done web site.
The
Cold War Civil Defense Museum has some very cool posters
and other stuff.
Nike
sites of the San Francisco Bay Area are found at this
web site.
The
Nike Historical Society has a wealth of information
about Nike missiles.
