Vandenberg AFB, California became the home of the first Thor intermediate-range ballistic missile in 1958. Established from the remains of a Korean and WWII training base, the USAF chose the location to test missiles there given its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. This captivating book, using never-before-seen photographs, explores and documents the hundreds of launches and technological advances made in Vandenberg over the many decades. 176 pages, 9"x 11", hardcover.
