  • The War Years
    1941 - 1945 George Northsea: The War Years by Steven Northsea April 28, 2015 George Northsea - The War Years 1941-42 George is listed in the 1941 East High Yearbook as Class of 1941 and his picture and the "senior" comments about him are below: We do know that he was living with his parents at 1223 15th Ave in Rockford, Illinois in 1941. The Rockford, Illinois city directory for 1941 lists him there and his occupation as a laborer. The Rockford City Directory of 1942 lists George at the same address and his occupation is now "Electrician." George says in a journal written in 1990, "I completed high school in January of 1942 (actually 1941), but graduation ceremony wasn't until June. In the meantime I went to Los Angeles, California. I tried a couple of times getting a job as I was only 17 years old. I finally went to work for Van De Camp restaurant and drive-in as a bus boy. 6 days a week, $20.00 a week and two meals a day. The waitresses pitched in each week from their tips for the bus boys. That was another 3 or 4 dollars a week. I was fortunate to find a garage apartment a few blocks from work - $3 a week. I spent about $1.00 on laundry and $2.00 on cigarettes. I saved money." (italics mine) "The first part of May, I quit my job to go back to Rockford (Illinois) for graduation. I hitch hiked 2000 miles in 4 days. I arrived at my family's house at 4:00 AM one morning.

H. Begg HONORS Service Streamers Campaign Streamers Armed Forces Expeditionary Streamers Decorations EMBLEM MOTTO NICKNAME OPERATIONS Activated in March 1945 at a crucial stage in the progress of the War Department's atomic bomb program, the 1st Ordnance Squadron, Special (Aviation) became a member of the 509th Composite Group to bring overseas the men, skill, and equipment needed to assemble the atomic bombs which were dropped with such devastating effect on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The blows against these cities were a culmination for the members of the squadron and more than rewarded them for the hard work and long hours spent in training and testing for the raids which were to startle the world. The men had been working with top scientists on the atomic bomb program for over nine months in a military unit different from any standard army organization. Under the leadership of Major Charles F. H. Begg the squadron's personnel consisted of a group of picked officers and enlisted men from all branches of the armed forces. So exacting were the technical and military security requirements for the squadron that only twenty per cent of those having basic qualifications for the work were accepted.

We preserve what we value of the physical past because it specifically embodies our social past. When we lose parts of our physical past, we lose parts of our common social past as well.” “The new knowledge of nuclear energy has undoubtedly limited national sovereignty and scaled down the destructiveness of war. If that’s not a good enough reason to work for and contribute to the Manhattan Project’s historic preservation, what would be?” -Richard Rhodes, “Why We Should Preserve the Manhattan Project,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, May/June 2006 Remnant of the K-25 plant during the demolition of the east wing.

  • The Other Atomic Bomb Commander: Colonel Cliff Heflin and His “Special” 216Th AAF Base Unit
    The Other Atomic Bomb Commander: Colonel Cliff Heflin and his “Special” 216th AAF Base Unit 14 AIR POWER History / WINTER 2012 Darrell F. Dvorak AIR POWER History / WINTER 2012 15 (Overleaf) B–17s at he Distinguished Service Medal is earned for Wendover AAFB. “exceptionally meritorious service to the gov- T ernment in a duty of great responsibility, in combat or otherwise.” The U.S. Air Force’s third- most prestigious award, it is rarely given to airmen lower than major general, but it was awarded to Col. Clifford J. Heflin upon his retirement in 1968 after thirty-one years of service. Heflin was recom- mended for the DSM primarily because he had com- manded two vital, top secret and highly successful projects in World War II. Few people—military or civilian—knew about those commands at the time, and even fewer knew about them when Heflin died in 1980. The story of his first command began to emerge in 1985 but remains little known, and the story of his second command is remembered only by his immediate family. Both deserve to be univer- sally known because together they change the pre- vailing narrative of the Army Air Forces (AAF) role in the atomic bombing of Japan. This paper is based on Heflin’s private records, overlooked primary sources, and prior scholarship. It addresses three key questions: Why was Heflin chosen for a top com- mand in the atomic bomb project; what were his specific contributions to that project; and why has his story been overlooked? After almost seventy years, “The Manhattan Further sessions between Groves and Arnold in July Project” is widely recognized as the codename for the and August conceptually defined two key organiza- massive, top secret U.S.

  • GROUNDS for PERMANENT WAR Land Appropriation, Exceptional
    GROUNDS FOR PERMANENT WAR Land Appropriation, Exceptional Powers, and the Mid-Century Militarization of Western North American Environments by Brandon C. Davis A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2017 © Brandon C. Davis, 2017 ABSTRACT Few areas across globe have escaped the pressures of militarization. Despite the many significant developments and repercussions tied to the military control of vast areas of national territories, the complex intersections between militarization and the environment have only recently attracted scholarly attention. This dissertation argues that the contemporary condition of global permanent war and ongoing state of emergency are rooted in the military control of land and other natural resources. During the mid-twentieth century buildup of North American defense forces, the practice of military land appropriation not only legitimized and expanded certain types of unilateral, emergency powers but also produced secret and legally permissive spaces in which the exercise of such extraordinary powers and related military land use practices could be more freely conducted. A major impetus driving these mid-century land use developments was the rise of unconventional weapons of mass destruction. Not only did such weapons technologies destabilize the global political order but they also brought about a multitude of disruptions at local sites. By investigating the establishment and operations of two of the world’s largest, most secretive, and longest-lasting chemical and biological weapons proving grounds—the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in western Utah and the Canadian-and U.K.-controlled Suffield Experimental Station in southeastern Alberta—this study reveals how the imperatives of permanent war have had critical influence in shaping the workings of power between local citizens, government, and the environment in western North America.
