CFS Baldy Hughes Canadian Forces Station Baldy Hughes ( ADC ID : C - 20 ) is a closed General Surveillance Radar station . It is located south - southwest of Prince George , British Columbia . It was closed in 1988 . It was operated as part of the Pinetree Line network controlled by NORAD . History . As a result of the Cold War and with the expansion of a North American continental air defence system , The site at Baldy Hughes was selected as a site for a United States Air Force ( USAF ) radar station , one of the many that would make up the Pinetree Line of Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) radar sites . Construction on the base began in 1952 and was completed in 1953 . The base was manned by members of the USAF ' s Air Defense Command ( ADC ) 918th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron , being known as Baldy Hughes Air Station . In June 1953 , operations began at the unit ' s permanent home . The station was equipped with AN / FPS - 3 C , AN / FPS - 502 , AN / FPS - 20 A ; AN / TPS - 502 , and AN / FPS - 6 B radars . As a GCI base , the 918th ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . These interceptors were based at the 25th Air Division at McChord Air Force Base in Washington . In the early 1960s , the USAF relinquished control of the base to the Royal Canadian Air Force ( RCAF ) . This was part of an arrangement with the United States that came as a result of the cancellation of the Avro Arrow . Canada would lease 66 F - 101 Voodoo fighters and take over operation of 12 Pinetree radar bases . Upon hand - over on 1 March 1963 , the operating unit Became No . 54 Aircraft Control & Warning Squadron and the base became RCAF Station Baldy Hughes . Radar operations at 54 Squadron were automated on 1 June 1966 by the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , and the station became a long - range radar site . It would no longer guide interceptors but only look for enemy aircraft , feeding data to the Seattle Air Defense Sector SAGE DC - 12 Direction Center of the 25th NORAD Region at McChord AFB , Washington . Radars at the station were also upgraded to the following equipment : As a result of the unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968 , the new Canadian Forces organization absorbed the RCAF , RCN and the Canadian Army . 48 Radar Squadron , RCAF Station Baldy Hughes , became simply Canadian Forces Station ( CFS ) Baldy Hughes in 1967 . The station began reporting to the Canada West ROCC in 1983 . It was closed in 1988 . Today the former station is The Baldy Hughes Addiction Treatment Centre .

Camp Atlanta Camp Atlanta was a World War II camp for German prisoners of war located next to Atlanta , Nebraska . Over three years , it housed nearly 3 , 000 prisoners . After the war , a number of soldiers and prisoners from the camp returned to live in the area . Location and construction . During World War II , Camp Atlanta was established next to the town as an Allied Prisoner of War camp for German P . O . W . s . As with many prisoner camps , the site was chosen because it was located well into the interior of the United States . The site housed 3 , 000 German prisoners , most of whom had been captured in the North African Campaign , in three compounds . The Atlanta area had been the final choice of the U . S . Army to establish a $ 2 , 000 , 000 P . O . W . camp after the outbreak of World War II . When construction began in September 1943 , people were told this would be a " Conchie Camp " for the conscientious objector s from the United States . By November , it became known by locals that Atlanta would be a Prisoner of War camp expected to guard German prisoners . There were approximately 275 enlisted men and 60 officers . Prisoner life . The first 250 German prisoners arrived in December , unannounced to anyone but the officer in command at the camp . On a Saturday morning early in February 1944 , 830 more arrived , making the total number of prisoners 1080 . The camp had its own train stop across from the prison gates , a chapel , a theater , a hospital , post exchange , a bakery , a laundry , and repair shops for all purposes . A 12 - piece drum and bugle corps made up from the military men marched in the Holdrege Memorial Day parade in 1944 . A ball club was organized to compete with the nearby Indianola P . O . W . camp . Prisoners were hired out to local farms to help retrieve the increased crop production demanded by the war . More than 30 local farmers sought assistance , paying the government for work completed by the P . O . W . s . Closing . Soon after the first of the year in 1946 , after World War II ended , the government began shipping the prisoners back to their homes in Germany . Later in the year all , the frame buildings , plumbing and every sort of valuable material was stripped from the camp and sold at auction . By 1947 , only acres of concrete slab , floors of barracks and other camp buildings remained . Some soldiers returned to live in Atlanta , and at least two of the Germans applied for U . S . citizenship and returned , as well . Currently , the only remnants of the camp include the water tower and two chimneys .

E14 munition The E14 munition was a cardboard sub - munition ( air - dropped or ground - launched munitions that eject smaller submunitions ) developed by the United States biological weapons program as an anti - crop weapon . In 1955 the E14 was used in a series of field tests , during the tests the munition was loaded with fleas and air - dropped . History . The E14 munition was developed by the United States for use in its offensive biological warfare arsenal as an anti - crop weapon . After the Korean War U . S . interest in large - scale entomological warfare increased . The E14 was one of two sub - munitions used in large - scale testing aimed at learning the feasibility and result of an air - dropped insect attack . In September 1954 , at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah , the E14 was again used in a series of tests known as " Operation Big Itch " . During Big Itch , uninfected rat flea s ( " Xenopsylla cheopis " ) were loaded into the E14 and air - dropped over the proving ground . The E14 used cardboard and sponge inserts to hold the fleas inside the cardboard container . With the sponge inserts in place , the E14 could hold about 100 , 000 fleas . Eighty cardboard inserts , or " loop tubes " , could be carried in the E14 as well . The munition could hold 80 loop tubes , each one capable of holding 3 , 000 fleas . The testing in Utah was ultimately successful . In May 1955 the U . S . utilized the E14 in field test , this time in the U . S . state of Georgia . The E14 was packed with " aircomb waffles " or loop tubes , instead of fleas these tests used uninfected yellow fever mosquitoes ( " Aedes aegypti " ) . The successful Georgia trials were known as " Operation Big Buzz " . Specifications . The E14 munition was a sub - munition that can be clustered in the E86 cluster bomb . It was a long , wide cardboard container . Internally the bomb contained an actuator , which emitted carbon dioxide , a piston that would expel the bomb ' s contents , and a small parachute , to be deployed when the weapon was dropped from the E86 cluster bomb . The weapons were designed to release their payload of biological agent , be it a vector or anti - crop agent , at above the ground , after it was released from the cluster munition .
