Here
are some relevant links (not necessarily all Titan I related, but
certainly missile-related in some way) I can recommend for further
reading and study on missile defense and the like. I try to keep
this list current, but please let me know if any of the links become
unavailable: contact
me.

The grand-daddy of all the missile sites out there, this Titan I

likely seen this page already, it must be included for completeness.

Missile
Related Links -
Miscellaneous missile-related sites I recommend for the missile
history enthusiast.
Univac
Athena Missile Guidance Computer - A site
devoted to the hulking computer of the vacuum-tube-era that saw
service in the Titan I operational sites: The Remington Rand Univac
Athena computer. This group worked with the surplussed
computers after they were retired from the Titan sites and were
given to universities. History, photos and other interesting
information about the Athena can be found here.
Russian
Missile Systems
- Sites covering Russian missile systems.
Martin
Trolle's Photos - If you
are like myself, you have long had a hunger to get a close up look
at the Russian missile systems that stood opposite our own Atlas and
Titan missiles. Martin's photo albums provide a very good look
at defunct early Russian missile installations as they look today
with many, many photos.
Cold
War Links -
Sites concerning Cold War history.
Dienststelle
Marienthal - Covers the
author's book about the massive German government bunker that
recently began demolition after it failed to sell to any private
buyers. Beautiful photos of this stunning facility will make
you feel ill knowing that the facility has been destroyed. The
book, which is currently out of print and unavailable, is featured in
part on this site. Though not directly missile-related, I am
confident visitors will find this to be an interesting inclusion,
and relevant by its association to the cold-war missile era.
Urban
Exploration and Decay -
Sites about exploring old missile sites and many other cast-off
relics of our modern civilization.
Bearings
Blog - An illuminating site that explores
abandoned sites, architecture, travel, interesting and historical
sites and other facets of our world. Excellent
post-operational Titan I photos!

that digs deep into the underground of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area
of Minnesota. This site has some great locations and engaging
stories to tell about history in the Twin Cities.

around the east coast area including hospitals and other abandoned
buildings.

Yonder Photography - Explorer Cameron shares a small
set of great photos from his visit to Lowry 725-B, the Deer Trail
site in Colorado.
Undercity.org -
Urban historian and photographer Steve explores the artful side of
decay with stunning photos of fascinating cast off and forgotten
places around the world. He made his way to a Lowry Titan 1
site and has some great pictures to share. If you enjoy the
Titan 1 photos, be sure to see where
else he's visited.
