US Army Eighth Air Force ; Special Service Section U S
'Skirts' - U.S. Army Eighth Air Force WWII Musical Program England ca. 1943 Early Frank Loesser Harold Rome Material
Good. Produced in England for American servicemen Skirts exemplifies the Eighth Air Force's morale-boosting entertainment during WWII. <br /> <br /> This souvenir program details an intimate musical in fifteen scenes presented by the Special Service Section featuring music and lyrics by Pfc. Frank Loesser Pfc. Harold Rome and Arthur Schwartz. Production and direction were overseen by Lt. Arthur G. Brest A.C. with a striking color cover illustrated and signed by the artist Quier. It contains a full cast list orchestra credits and the patriotic poem Young Eagles.<br /> <br /> SPECS:<br /> Imprint: Special Service Section U.S. Army Eighth Air Force Somewhere in England ca. 1943-1944.<br /> Format: Single-signature booklet approximately 5.5 x 7 inches original pictorial wrappers.<br /> Pagination: Unpaginated 12 pages including wrappers with two loose interior sheets as issued.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Good.<br /> The Leaflet: Entirely clean and complete throughout. Evenly age-toned as expected for wartime paper stock with a minor curl along the outer edges. A faint vertical center fold is present from original pocket carriage by a serviceman.<br /> The Structural Integrity: The program includes two loose interior sheets though the text and layout remain entirely complete and presentable. A solid un-restored example of a notoriously fragile piece of field-issued military ephemera. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> The presence of Pfc. Frank Loesser Guys and Dolls How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Pfc. Harold Rome Pins and Needles situates this ephemeral program within the vital early creative output of two major postwar Broadway composers. <br /> <br /> <br /> Drafted into military service these theatrical titans were weaponized by the Special Service Section to maintain G.I. morale in the European Theater. The revue represents a fascinating hybrid of Broadway-caliber songwriting and raw front-line military amateurism.<br /> <br /> MATERIAL & BIBLIOGRAPHICAL UTILITY<br /> Printed on localized low-grade English wartime paper stock due to strict rationing this program is a classic example of "theater-of-operations" printing. The cover art by 'Quier' offers a unique piece of undocumented military graphic design while the internal layout serves as a directory of the personnel stationed at the Eighth Air Force bases during the critical build-up to the air campaign over occupied Europe.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES: DESIGN SCHOLARSHIP & INFLUENCE<br /> The Broadway Draft: Documents the exact historical moment when top-tier American theatrical talent was consolidated into the U.S. military apparatus to write specialized propaganda and camp shows.<br /> Social History of the Eighth A.F.: The cast list and scene breakdown provide historians with a clear view of the humor coping mechanisms and cultural references that resonated with young aviators facing extreme casualty rates.<br /> Ephemeral Survival: Represents a scarce survivor of troop entertainment ephemera; items like this were almost universally discarded in barracks or lost during base reassignments.<br /> <br /> Subjects: World War II Entertainment Eighth Air Force U.S. Army Special Services Frank Loesser Harold Rome WWII Theater Programs Allied Forces in England Military Ephemera Performing Arts Wartime Memorabilia. unknown

US Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group U S
Isthmian Canal Studies 1964 Title from Front Cover; Annex III Appendix 1 Inclosure A Excavation with Nuclear Explosions PNE-2001
Livermore CA: U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group 1964. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. Illustrations figures tables tabular data. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings some blacked out. This is part of Plowshare--civil industrial and scientific used for nuclear explosives. The US Army Corps of Engineers Nuclear Cratering Group NCG program activities include: 1 cratering calibration of various geologic media and development of techniques designed to provide a desired crater geometry with chemical high-explosive detonations; 2 joint planning of and technical participation in AEC nuclear-excavation experiments; 3 development of data on the engineering properties of nuclear craters; 4 development of civil works nuclear construction technology; 5 accomplishment of engineering studies of nuclear construction feasibility; and 6execution of joint CE/AEC civil works nuclear-construction experiments. Four conceptual nuclear-construction applications have been identified as having a significant potential for accomplishment: 1 nuclear quarrying to produce rock fill or aggregate; 2 nuclear ejecta dam construction; 3 nuclear harbor construction; and 4 nuclear canal excavation. This inclosure described the design of the nuclear explosions required to excavate the channel for an Isthmian sea-level canal. The Columbian nuclear cue would use 262 devices with a total yield of 2709 megatons fired in 21 separate detonations. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting stimulation of tight gas chemical element manufacture unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption as had earlier been assumed. This became the first crater on Earth definitely proven to be from an impact event. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included tritiated water projected to increase by CER Geonuclear Corporation to a level of 2% of the then-maximum level for drinking water and the deposition of fallout from radioactive material being injected into the atmosphere before underground testing was mandated by treaty. Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors electrical generation the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft and as a form of wide-area fracking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S. a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered included blasting a new Panama Canal constructing the proposed Nicaragua Canal the use of underground explosions to create electricity Project PACER and a variety of mining geological and radionuclide studies. The largest of the excavation tests was carried out in the Sedan nuclear test in 1962 which released large amounts of radioactive gas into the air. By the late 1960s public opposition to Plowshare was increasing and a 1970s study of the economics of the concepts suggested they had no practical use. Plowshare saw decreasing interest from the 1960s and was officially canceled in 1977. The Soviet program started a few years after the U.S. efforts and explored many of the same concepts under their Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy program. The program was more extensive eventually conducting 239 nuclear explosions. Some of these tests also released radioactivity including a significant release of plutonium into the groundwater and the polluting of an area near the Volga River. A major part of the program in the 1970s and 80s was the use of very small bombs to produce shock waves as a seismic measuring tool and as part of these experiments two bombs were successfully used to seal blown-out oil wells. The program officially ended in 1988. U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group paperback

Topics covered include the panoramic sight the French sight M-1901 the bracket fuze setter M 1916 the hand fuze setters model 1912 and model 1913 gunner's quadrant model of 1918 and study questions. The United States Army Field Artillery School USAFAS trains Field Artillery Soldiers and Marines in tactics techniques and procedures for the employment of fire support systems in support of the maneuver commander. The school further develops leaders who are tactically and technically proficient develops and refines warfighting doctrine and designs units capable of winning on future battlefields. The mission of the Field Artillery is to destroy neutralize or suppress the enemy by cannon rocket or missile fire and to help integrate all fire support assets into combined arms operations. The U.S. Army Field Artillery School trains educates and develops agile adaptive and decisive Soldiers and leaders; engages collaborates and partners with other branches sister-services and other fires warfighting function proponents; and serves as the lead agent for the development of Field Artillery doctrine concepts and dissemination of that knowledge to the Field Artillery force in support of commanders operating across the full spectrum of conflict and in the joint inter-organizational and multinational JIM environment. The U.S. Army Field Artillery enables maneuver commanders to dominate in Unified Land Operations through effective targeting integration and delivery of fires. The origin of USAFAS can be traced back to the 1907 reorganization of the Artillery Corps and to the character of Fort Sill at that time. The 1907 reorganization created Coast and Field Artillery Branches. In the process of this reorganization the Field Artillery was deprived of its former home at Fort Monroe Virginia. Fort Sill was considered the best location for a Field Artillery school since its 15000-acre reservation allowed ample room for target practice and its great variety of terrain offered an excellent area for different types of tactical training. In addition the post had already assumed the character of the home of artillery with a large number of artillery units assigned. The first artillery school the US Army School of Fire was organized in 1911 by Captain Dan Tyler Moore. With the exception of a brief period in 1916 when school troops were used as frontier security guards during the Mexican Revolution the School has operated and expanded continuously. Hundreds of thousands of artillerymen have been trained at Fort Sill since the inception of the School. After the United States entered World War I the school reopened in 1917 with Col. William J. Snow as commandant. The Field Artillery School as it was now known added more courses. After the war school commandants began a long-range program to improve field artillery mobility gunnery and equipment. Budget cuts during the 1920s hampered their efforts but innovative directors of the Gunnery Department with support from school commandants helped modernize the field artillery in the 1930s. Maj. Carlos Brewer director of the Gunnery Department in the late 1920s and early 1930s introduced new fire direction techniques so fire support would be more responsive. Maj. Orlando Ward the next department director developed the fire direction center to centralize command and control and to facilitate massing fire. Brewer Ward and Lt. Col. H.L.C. Jones encouraged replacing horses with motor vehicles for moving field artillery guns. During World War II to best use new long-range guns and better response times the Field Artillery School championed the use of air observation to control artillery fires. The War Department approved organic field artillery air observation in 1942. The artillery air observers adjusted massed fire and performed liaison reconnaissance and other missions during the war. Following the war the school adapted to the atomic age and the Cold War. The War Department consolidated all artillery training and developments under the U.S. Army Artillery Center at Fort Sill in 1946. At that time the center included the Artillery School the Antiaircraft and Guided Missile School at Fort Bliss Texas and the Coast Artillery School at Fort Scott Calif.
