Minuteman facility under construction

This undated photo shows a Minuteman launch facility under construction at Malmstrom AFB in Montana. Between 1961 and 1966, at a time of great Cold War urgency, the Army Corps of Engineers oversaw the construction of 1,000 silos, often with work proceeding around the clock, seven days a week.
