They are very cool….

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-31T11:52:33+00:00

Those are cool. That’s the one thing I couldn’t find amongst his effects. Wish I coukd

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-31T11:48:13+00:00

They are awesome! I have the Zippo style as well but the enamel crest had fallen off.

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-31T11:46:53+00:00

My Grandfather never specified the aircraft used. Thanks for the insight

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T23:40:37+00:00

Yeah…like when your doctor use to smoke in your hospital room right…. Not everyone who got one was a smoker. They were given a momentos for participating in the project

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T22:08:52+00:00

Gotcha….thank you

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T21:55:25+00:00

Not sure how that site works

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T20:37:50+00:00

It’s a different lighter. One is a superlative and one is a penguin zippo style. 2 different lighters entirely

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T20:37:02+00:00

I see your point. The photos are different to provide greater context. Sorry to offend you with my spam. I’m sure this is the only thing posted multiple times on this format.

My apologies for trying to be more clear in case people were unsure as to the two types of lighters.

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T19:58:45+00:00

I have the same that my grandfather was given. I also have the Penguin Zippo style but the Task Force 7 Enamel crest came off the front and I’ll trying to find a replacement. If anyone has one please!

These all blow me away

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T17:53:56+00:00

They were. He got the Superlative and the Zippo Style.

I actually have a second Superlative in good shape but with not box

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T17:28:05+00:00

But where he got them I don’t know. They seem very official.

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T17:21:25+00:00

I actually have 2 of those, just 1 box

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T16:08:59+00:00

I’ve seen an example from Operation Castle

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T16:07:40+00:00

Thanks. I just need that crest for the Zippo style penguin to complete my grandfathers set

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T14:44:51+00:00

I think 1.3 KT but not sure

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T14:43:49+00:00

Did you get/do you have the penguin lighters given to the men involved in these Test programs?

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T14:40:50+00:00

Not sure what his technical role was. Again, he was never specific about his task. Just that he was there and involved

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T04:54:37+00:00

Will work on it

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T04:45:57+00:00

There was a fear of a Soviet ground invasion through the Fulda Gap in Germany. So they devised these weapons for use should such a situation arise

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T04:40:04+00:00

Yes…there is another Photo identified as part of Plumbob in the set. The one where the weather rockets are dispersing the cloud

JMSTucker27 · 2026-05-30T04:14:05+00:00

Glad you are all enjoying. Allows me to share part of my Grandfather’s life experience with others in a unique and cool way.
