Let's Build a B-52 Shelter Now

William M. Capron

ResearchPublished 1959

This short internal note argues that RAND should make a serious effort to convince the U.S. Air Force to contract for the immediate construction of two to three prototype shelters for the B-52. The author views a prototype shelter as essential to demonstrating the feasibility of both the construction and operation of such shelters to key decisionmakers in the U.S. Air Force, Department of Defense, and Congress.
