Atlas ICBM & Manned Spacecraft Booster
Web site by: Phil Broad

This series of photos was taken at the Douglas Aircraft Company factory in Long Beach California during a fit-check with the fuselage of a C-133 "Weenie Wagon".   The date of the event appears to be May of 1959, if the markings on the backs of the prints are correct.  This is undoubtably just a high fidelity engineering mock-up of the Atlas but the engines are real as well as the transporter.  Might make an interesting diorama...
