CHINA LAKE FILMS TO BE SHOWN EVERY 4TH TUESDAY AT HISTORIC USO BUILDING
China Lake historians Mark Pahuta and Leroy Doig will present the second installment of their popular video series “Pictures of Us” at the Historical Society of the Upper Mojave Desert’s February General Meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Historic USO Building, 230 W. Ridgecrest Blvd. “The Rocket Racket” highlights the Naval Ordnance Test Station’s early rocket development program and its influence on today’s weapon technology. This ongoing series of videos chronicling the history of China Lake is presented, for free, on every fourth Tuesday by the team who brought to the public the highly acclaimed “Secret City,” an overview of the history of China Lake, produced in 1993 for the 50th anniversary of the Naval Weapons Center. The programs offer a golden opportunity to view footage from China Lake’s in-house productions, some of which have only recently been rediscovered and reclassified
