Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Set of 54 cards with black and white photographs on one side and silhouette images of U.S. Navy ships and naval aircraft on the other side. Each card marked RESTRICTED and date August 1944. Believed to be a nearly complete set of 48 cards (comparable to a playing card deck with 52 standard cards and two jokers). Box has some wear and soiling. The Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) was the U.S. Navy's material-support organization for naval aviation from 1921 to 1959. The bureau had "cognizance" (i.e., responsibility) for the design, procurement, and support of naval aircraft and related systems. Aerial weapons, however, were under the cognizance of the Navy's Bureau of Ordnance (BuOrd). World War II brought immense changes as well. BuAer was forced to expand rapidly in order to comply with the nation's defense needs. By the war's end, the bureau had developed an administrative structure that oversaw thousands of personnel, and the procurement and maintenance of tens of thousands of aircraft. In 1943, the Navy established the position of Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Air, or DCNO(Air), a move which relieved some of BuAer's responsibility for Fleet operations. RADM McCain, now promoted to vice admiral, was the first to fill the position. It is likely that this set was produced to be used in the Pacific Theater, possibly in connection with the planned invasion of the Japanese Home Islands that was made unnecessary by the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent Unconditional Surrender of Japan. Collectible Cards, boxed in worn and torn Card deck package.

Small tear in frontis illustration. Foreword by Major General L. R. Groves, Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. This text is a reprint of a document formerly issued under the title of Radiological Safety. The previous document had been classified as Restricted. Upon review, this document was found to have contained no restricted data under Public Law 585, 79th Congress, the Atomic Energy Act of 1946. Additional volumes were anticipated. The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP) was a U. S. military agency responsible for those aspects of nuclear weapons remaining under military control after the Manhattan Project was succeeded by the Atomic Energy Commission. These responsibilities included the maintenance, storage, surveillance, security and handling of nuclear weapons, as well as supporting nuclear testing. The AFSWP was a joint organization, staffed by the U. S. Army, U. S. Navy and U. S. Air Force. Major General Leslie R. Groves was its first chief. The early nuclear weapons were stored as components rather than complete devices and required expert knowledge to assemble. The short life of their lead-acid batteries and modulated neutron initiators, and the heat generated by the fissile cores, precluded storing them assembled. The large quantity of explosives in each weapon demanded special care be taken in handling. A team of regular Army officers were trained in the assembly and handling of the weapons.

C., during 1947, 1948, and 1949 in a joint course on "Medical Aspects of Nuclear Energy" presented by the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. This joint course was conducted for indoctrination of Medical Officers of the Armed Services with participation open to representatives of all interested government agencies. This volume should assist defense personnel preparing for complex casualty problems and others in the civil defense structure. The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP) was a U.

Zustand: Very Good. First edition in publisher's original blue card wrap covers (soft back). 8vo. 8'' x 6''. In December 1942 Fidelity, with T Company, 40 Commando aboard, joined Convoy ON 154. The convoy was attacked by U-boats from 27 December while north of the Azores. On 29 December Fidelity, suffering from engine problems, fell out of the convoy. She launched her aircraft as an anti-submarine patrol while repairs took place. During this time her aircraft reported lifeboats to the southwest and her landing craft was sent to pick them up. These were 44 men from Empire Shackleton, the convoy commodore's ship. During the night Fidelity was making 5 knots towards the Azores, but came under attack twice. She was fired on by U-225, and later by U-615. Both U-boats were driven off when Fidelity fired back. On 30 December she was found by U-435, under the command of Siegfried Strelow and was torpedoed twice. Strelow observed the sinking, and estimated about 300 survivors in the water, but when he made his report later he was asked "whether their destruction in the prevailing weather can be counted on". This was some months after BdU's infamous Laconia Order, instructing U-boat commanders not to assist survivors in any way, and regarded at the Nuremberg trials as a tacit encouragement to ensure there were none. At the time of her sinking Fidelity had on board some 369 souls. All were lost. Contains 128 pp with monochrome archive photographs and some maps throughout. Feint crease line to the top front corner and in Very Good condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A. WORLD WAR II (Second).

Foreword by Brigadier General Herbert B. Loper, Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. The purpose of this volume was to provide, in its true perspective, the essential background information which would make possible intelligent planning in advance and appropriate action in an emergency. The first half of the book deals with the characteristics of atomic weapons, and their effects on structures, equipment, and personnel. The second half considered the steps that could be taken to minimize those effects and to control their consequences. The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP) was a U.
