EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the height of the Cold War era, specifically April 21,1962, at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The image showcases a Pershing ballistic missile, an upgraded version developed by the U. S. Army. Its significance lies in its intended deployment in Germany with nuclear capabilities under strict control by the U. S. Army command. The photograph captures both the historical importance and technological advancements of this intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Standing tall against a clear daytime sky, it exudes power and defense readiness that characterized this tense period between superpowers. Intriguingly monochromatic, this vintage print transports us to a time when these missiles were seen as symbols of military might and deterrence during the arms race. People can be spotted in the background, perhaps witnessing this historic event firsthand or going about their daily lives amidst heightened tensions. Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG) has expertly preserved this moment frozen in time for future generations to reflect upon. It serves as a reminder of how close we came to global conflict while also highlighting humanity's ability to harness scientific innovation for both protection and potential destruction
