FULL-LENGTH shot of Miss Bomarc of Utah after two AMC family members at Ogden AMA modified her original frame with a prize hairdo and sheath gown.

Miss Bomarc of Utah

The 1950s. The Age of Elvis, President Eisenhower, and the Cold War. Critical to the Nation's Defense: a growing arsenal of guided missiles, including the CIM-10A Bomarc. And standing behind, beside, and anywhere else in the general vicinity of the Bomarcs were the Missile Maidens. Nothing in the Soviet arsenal could match them.

This is their story, now reproduced here as it first appeared in AMC WORLDWIDE,* vol I, no. 7 (April, 1958). The story employs the following military acronyms.
AMC = Air Materiel Command
OOAMA = Ogden Air Materiel Area, a U. S. Air Force maintenance and supply facility located at Hill AFB near Odgen, Utah.
