Historical reference
Douglas C-133A w / PGM-17 Thor IRBM - mobile strategic aircraft complex consisting of a C-133 aircraft and a PGM-17 Thor missile. The main goal was to quickly deliver intermediate-range ballistic missiles by transport aircraft to remote points on other continents in order to place the missiles as close as possible to the borders of a potential adversary. From 1959 to 1963, missiles of this type were transported to the territory of Great Britain with the help of the C-133A. In October 1962, when humanity was on the brink of a full-fledged global nuclear conflict, the PGM-17 Thor, operational at British bases, was one of the key factors in forcing the Soviet Union to reverse its decision to deploy its missiles in the immediate vicinity of US borders, on the island of Cuba. After the de-escalation of political tensions in the world, all PGM-17 Thors based in the United Kingdom were soon returned to the United States by means of the same C-133A transport.
The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster is an American large turboprop cargo aircraft built between 1956 and 1961 by the Douglas Aircraft Company for use with the United States Air Force. The C-133 was the USAF's only production turboprop-powered strategic airlifter, entering service shortly after the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, which is designated a tactical airlifter. It provided airlift services in a wide range of applications, being replaced by the C-5 Galaxy in the early 1970s.
The PGM-17A Thor was the first operational ballistic missile of the U.S. Air Force (USAF). Named after the Norse god of thunder, it was deployed in the United Kingdom between 1959 and September 1963 as an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with thermonuclear warheads. Thor was 65 feet (20 m) in height and 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter. It was later augmented in the U.S. IRBM arsenal by the Jupiter.
The Thor and later Delta families of space launch vehicles used boosters derived from the initial Thor missile.
