CONELRAD: Tune in, Drop Dead: Firing up the Wayback Machine, Sherman!

"Most people spent the 1950’s in a mild panic. If you lived in a NATO country, you feared the Soviets nuclear arsenal, and if you happened to live in a Warsaw Pact country, you feared a destructive attack by American and British nuclear weapons. In the world of Cold War paranoia nuclear war was not just a distant possibility, it was a guaranteed fact."
Blast from The Past Poster
 I know some of you readers and followers of this here blog remember this from our youth/childhood. I grew up in NC Montana for the most part and we were in fairly close proximity to the Missile Boys out of Malmstrom AFB at Great Falls. Central Montana is still home to a Space Wing(Missile Wing) to this day.
