We are inviting any of you out there who is interested in this project and would like to dust off their skills to E mail me and let me know what you would like to do. In addition to turning the wrench and spray painting we will need writers as we are generating unclassified weapon descriptions, maintenance procedures and record keeping. We also will need folks who can provide advise and knowledge to the Museums. The work will need to be done all across the country not just here at KAFB. So if you have an aerospace museum nearby, advise them about this effort and tell them to contact the NWTA or myself. This will mostly be on a first come first served basis while trying to match available assets to their needs.
Museums we have recently visited have had a wide variety of Nuclear Weapon displays, ranging from non-existent to great. However, there is no standardization or consistency and many displays are poorly done with errors, omissions and some downright lies. A standard source of information is needed to insure that the displays are accurate and interesting. Additionally, some museums would like more displays and others would like to pass along excess asset
.I would like to propose that we form a Center, under the auspices of the NWTA.The purpose of the Center would be to:
- Be an information clearing house for Nuclear Weapon Displays
- Be a source of standardized information for the preparation of these displays
- Be a source of expertise for the displaysBe a coordination point for distribution of assets
- Be a source of volunteer help and expertise for museum displays
