During the 1960s inter-service wars on TSR-2, F-111 and the Bucc, Australia was shifted by 800 miles to the west to prove a point on one map.
I don't think so unless they also moved New Guinea. Its at the same location relative to Australia in a quick atlas check.

Coverage of USSR by B-29s and B-36s And believe it ore not, this map of the Eastern Soviet Union Missile Bases below is a Andy Warhol work so if it is based on actual location ore just out of his mind, i do not know.

That's a hell of a lot of yellow across eastern Europe and European Russia. China gets an hammering as well but relatively low in comparison.
Clicking on gillan1220, link you can get a larger scale of the map here and it also has the option to click on bursts and see the predicted effects. |

The coverage of the USSR by B-29 and B-36 is highly misleading, at least with respect to coverage from Nome. Nome, even to this day, does not have the hardstands or parking areas that a squadron of B-29s or B-36s would need to land, refuel and take off again, without a serious traffic jam.
I suspect that less than a dozen planes could have been staged out of Nome, severely limiting the capabilities of a strike from there.

For a scholarly paper, the latter has a number of glaring errors even in the introduction, such as the use of Philippine based weapons in the Middle East, the P-3 being described as a fighter plane and a Bellknap class DLG becoming a nuclear powered cruiser. Even for 1983, it is beneath the par of what one would expect for an undergraduate paper, let alone a putative think tank book. As for the very suggestion that the US stored special weapons overseas during the 1960s, I am shocked - shocked - at the very idea.  |

It's apparently no surprise the use stored nuclear devices in the Philippines and Japan. These were kept under utmost secrecy. Hence why it took until the 21st century to be declassified because it would have opened a can-of-worms at that period. Hence, why New Zealand refuses the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered supercarriers and SSBNs because the U.S. will always find a way to get passed such legalities. |
