    The fun of thermonuclear warfare. This was the thing back in the early 1950s and probably the 1950s too. Back then it was called atomic and atom bombs, never nuclear. Be sure and hide under your desk in case of attack.
    Now this is a very neat set with a plethora of missiles and rockets. All with that early cold war MCM vibe. Also a fine looking tin litho building which of course is Cape Canaveral headquarters.
    Lots of fun stuff here which will require more posts. Although there will be a matinee this time.

      What an elaborate early NASA set, it's fabulous! My stepdaughter & family live in Cocoa close to the Cape, and every time there's a launch the whole ground shakes
