Atom Bomb vs Howitzer
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

OPERATION TEAPOT - U.S. Army soldiers who are going to see an atomic blast at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site look over an expendable self-propelled 155mm Howitzer that will stand exposed within 4,000 yards of the burst.The troops will crouch in trenches at H-hour, then move out to see the damage inflicted on the gun by the detonation.
