Pushbutton War Missile Passes Test
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla AP An Air Force Minuteman missile passed its first test flight with all three stages firing and the missile landing on target in the South Atlantic after about 11 am EST.

The Air Force aims to have Minuteman ready by mid-1962 with thousands of missiles planned, signaling a shift from bombers to rockets in national defense.
