Installed a replacemen video link to replace a deleted YouTube video of the US Army's popular 1950s television series "The Big Picture" episode titled "Audie Murphy in Broken Bridge", with Audie Murphy being shown a 40th Artillery Group Redstone missile in 1960 by Colonel Joseph Harrison, 40th Artillery Group Commanding Officer, near the bottom of Page 16 Appendix D: Redstone Missile Videos. The video can be viewed in full screen mode. I also have the video set to start at the 13 minute 16 second mark. |

Updated the links of the six multi-part videos to replace the non-working multi-part YouTube videos on Page 16 Appendix D: Redstone Missile Videos. The videos can also be viewed in full screen mode. Also, deleted one link to a Redstone missile video that is no longer available on YouTube: the night launch of Redstone Jupiter A Missile RS-19. There are currently now 11 Redstone-related videos on this Page. Additionally, I have eliminated Related Sites broken links, and former Related Sites that currently appear to no longer exist. |
