West German jets armed with U.S. nuclear bombs
At a West German Luftwaffe base under NATO, F104G jets sit ready with American nuclear warheads under U.S. custody. The arrangement, kept secret, allows select planes to carry the A bombs and require presidential authorization to arm and launch. U.S. Air Force personnel supervise, with the program outlined by a West German officer and U.S. West German agreement.
