Carol.... Re: Cold War and Civil Defense in Newport News It has been some time since my last post but now and then I do find myself checking those I help start to see if there are new contributions. I am gathering information to write a book or books concerning the Cold War and Civil Defense especially during the 1950s-1960s era. One will be aimed toward the Elementary School level while the other for adults. And since Newport News is my hometown as well as being in a strategic area during that time, I will be making references to it often as an example. That said, I would like to see if anyone would like to help out and contribute anything from memories to mementos... photos or items they wish to donate towards this project? Anything would be greatly appreciated and of course a contribution credit given in the book. Right now I am working on the CONELRAD portion of Civil Defense. The early Emergency Broadcasting system which was required by law for radio and television broadcasters to participate in and gave instructions to listeners to tune in on the AM radio dial to either the 640 or 1240 frequency. It is quite interesting but became outdated by 1963 when ICBM missiles replaced the old airplane delivered bomb system. You will see radios made between the years 1953-1963 marked with either a triangle or CD marking at these frequencies. Next will be the missile silos which at one point dotted the Hampton Roads area.
