Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the US Navy recovered from the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, the aircraft carrier earned a place alongside the battleship, and the Navy grew its air force. Pilots were needed as fast as American industry could build airplanes, and Indiana became the home of a naval air-training center. After fascism's defeat with the end of World War II, a potentially more deadly Cold War brought the need for a deterrent force capable of surviving a nuclear attack and then completely destroying the enemy. A vital part of that force moved into the old Hoosier Navy Base in 1954. For more than three decades, Bunker Hill and Grissom airmen stood on the forward wall of America's freedom. Images of Aviation: Bunker Hill and Grissom Air Force Base tells their story through an amazing collection of declassified US Air Force photographs.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 8, 1964, during a routine Operational Readiness Inspection, a B-58 strategic bomber skidded off the runway at Bunker Hill AFB, IN (later named Grissom Air Force Base). The consequence of the accident was a fire and destruction of five nuclear weapons on the aircraft. The high explosives in the weapons did not detonate, but melted and burned, leaving some residual radioactive contamination in soils adjacent to the runway. The contaminated area was excavated and buried along with the aircraft wreckage at a different location on base. In 1999, AFIERA performed a radiological characterization of the site (IERA-SD-BR-TR-2000-0002). The results of the survey confirm that a small area of the site investigated contains depleted uranium contamination. The investigation area was about 8,800 square meters and had an estimated excess surface activity concentration of 1 pCi/g averaged over the entire area. Within this area, the contamination zone is limited to an area of 1000 square meters, with a mean excess uranium activity concentration of 7 pCi/g. This report details a remedial action plan for the site. The remedial action work plan details tasks to be accomplished by AFIERA and a private contract organization. Included in the plan are details on 1) pre-remediation site survey, 2) soil removal activities, 3) remedial action support surveys 4) final status soil sampling and 5) soil backfill of the remediation area.
