This site is dedicated to the preservation and
dissemination of the photographic history of all things related to
ordnance development at China Lake. Please donate any material you
have to an appropriate museum before it
ends up in a dumpster.
Although my particular interest is NAF
and VX-5 through 1976, photos,
TINS tales, aircraft histories
and/or patches from HEDRON 14, AODU 1,
GMU-25, GMU-61,
MCGMTU, MAD, NOTS Inyokern, NAF China
Lake, VX-5, or their successor units
NWC, NAWC, NAWCWD, NAWS, Dust Devils,
VX-9, VX-31 etc. from any era are always
welcome.

"Magnificent Mavericks,"
the story of the creative military/civilian team who
worked at the China
Lake Naval Ordnance
Test Station (NOTS) and Pasadena from 1948 to 1958
is now available.
The book encompasses an era China Lake retirees look
back on as "the fun years." Described are the vibrant
life of the community, the colorful characters, the
ranges and facilities, as well as fascinating stories
(including the politics) of such successful weapons as
Sidewinder, Polaris, and ASROC.
The author,
Elizabeth Babcock, retired in 1996 and her current
schedule involves part-time jobs as copy editor for the
News Review (local weekly newspaper), staff writer for
the Ridgecrest Chamber of Commerce, and history curator
for the Maturango Museum. |
