Do you have pictures (or slides) of your time at Murphy Dome that you will share? Scan and email them in as hi rez as you can or email me and I will give address to send them and we will carefully scan and put on CD and return them to you.

This Website is dedicated to the Airmen and Officers who served at Murphy Dome in 1956 and 1957.

For most it was a unique & one of a kind  "Semi-Remote"15 Month Tour of Duty.

 

My appeal to the AIG [Air Inspector General] resulted in the tour being reduced to12 months in 1958 like the other remote AC&W sites. John
