I have scanned several training documents which were provided to me my by David Jenkins of the 556th SMS below.

As always, I'm interested in any materials, books, pictures, etc that would relate to the Atlas F
program and the 556th SMS.  Please send me an email if you can help me out.

Just a word of caution - some of these files are quite large and may take a while to download.

SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION!

Enjoy!

Publication Definitions (per the USAF,circa 1962):

STUDENT STUDY GUIDES AND WORKBOOKS, are designed by the Air Training Command as student training publications for use in the training courses of this command. Each publication is prepared for a subject or Unit of Instruction as reflected in the course syllabus.

THE STUDENT STUDY GUIDE, contains the specific information required in the Unit of Instruction or it will refer to other publications which the student is required to read. It contains the necessary information which is not adaptable for student study in other available sources. The material included or referred to is normally studied either outside the classroom or during supervised study periods in the classroom. Also included are thought provoking questions which permit self-evaluation by the student and which will stimulate classroom discussion.

THE STUDENT WORKBOOK, contains specialized job procedures, important information about the job, questions to 'be answered, problems to be solved and/or work to be accomplished by the student during the classroom/laboratory, airplane/equipment activity. It serves as a job sheet, operations sheet, mission card, checklist, or exercise to be performed during classroom or laboratory periods. Also included are questions which will aid the student in summarizing the main points of the subject or Unit of Instruction.

STUDENT STUDY GUIDES AND WORKBOOKS, are prepared primarily for use in the training situations peculiar to the Air Training Command. However, they must not conflict with the information and/or procedures contained in Technical Orders or other official directives.

Still working on the abstracts & text indexes........see below for what I have so far.
