Summary

Description

The BOMARC launch complex on Category:Fort Dix became operational on 1 September 1959 with 3 IM-99A missiles (24 by 1 January)[1] and was the site of the 7 June 1960 nuclear accident in Launcher Shelter 204 (destroyed, not shown).

George Washington University caption: "Four of 56 U.S. Air Force BOMARC IM-99A nuclear antiaircraft missiles emplaced at a site about twenty miles southeast of Trenton, New Jersey near McGuire Air Force Base. Missiles remained horizontal in the shelters shown except when preparing to launch or the erection equipment was being tested. Each missile carried a W-40 nuclear warhead which yielded about 6.5 kilotons."
