“We had a Nike base in Marin County, CA (San Francisco suburb) in 1954.

It’s funny you should mention Nike sites, because I worked for a company in San Ramon in the late 1960’s by the name of MBAssociates. Our buildings were built over the abandoned Nike Missile silos up in Bollinger Canyon.
NIKE was not launched from a silo.
