Nike Missile and Test Equipment

This is an excellent book that is well written and presented. As a plastic modeler I found the diagrams and plans excellent. If there is one draw back I would say that it didn't show any significant pictures or drawings of the vehicles and trailers used to transport these missiles. it's only a small thing and other than that it is an excellent book.

It 's information and subjects were closely related to what I was train in, as a Nike Hercules Missile Maintenance Crew and Security Custodian (16B20), when I was Drafted into the U.S. Army, back in 1971, during the Cold War era.

Great for folks interested in launch issues but has little value, except for familiarity purposes, for someone who wanted to re-emerse in fire control or tracking/search radar. Done like a launcher operator training manual including quizes.

Unfortunately this is simply a reprint of an army manual with a book cover on it. Great if I that's what you're after, but if you're looking for a detailed technical study or presentation of the Nike missile systems, keep looking. This ain't that.

Exceptional manual on the Nike Hercules..

Details were great.

As advertised, on time

I worked on this missile while in the Army. Way back in the late 60`s early 70`s. Good times for being alive and being young.

Excellent book. take you back to thr fifties

A reprint of the original "MMS Subcourse Number 151" textbook. 94 pages with many b/w illustrations covering the Nike missile and launching area (the battery control area is not covered in this book). The book is subdivided into 6 lessons, each one with some final questions to assess the reader's comprehension.I've bought it because I'm going to visit a nearby museal site called "Base Tuono" where a Nike-Hercules launching area has been restored.
