When America's Cities Had Missiles

Project Nike was a U.S. Army project proposed in May 1945 to develop an anti-aircraft missile system. Missile batteries were deployed across 40 "Defense Areas" mainly centered around large American cities and industrial hubs. Although Nike Missiles were given to many allied and NATO countries, this video focuses on the deployment in the US.
