Titan 1 Launch

Thanks again for sharing these. They're fantastic!

Nice to see this shot, indeed an unusual view, usually one sees just the one rocket going up in these kind of pictures. I never knew there were that many launch platforms in a row at Cape Canaveral.

But what are these things in the background? You say missiles, but they only look like missiles from comic books, not like real ones. Aren't these just fuel tanks or something, maybe just with a rocket engine for testing?? Or are the rockets hidden in these structures in the background?

Nice shot. I see LC-11 at the 2nd from last at far right still has it's red and white pattern. There
are 9 launch complexes in this image. All 9 gantries and umbilcal towers/masts are all gone so
Ron has captured a dynamic moment in time circa 1960-1961.
