Foreword:
1999 is the 50th. anniversary of the establishment of NATO. The North Atlantic Treaty was signed in Washington on April 4th 1949. North America and the majority of Western European countries combined in the greatest military defence alliance the world has ever seen, in an effort to secure member countries against military attack and to create political and military co-operation. The 50th anniversary is being celebrated in all NATO member countries.
The Ministry of Defence awarded, on behalf of the Norwegian Government, the Norwegian Aviation Museum, in cooperation with several other institutions, the task of arranging the principal Norwegian celebration in Bodø. NATO was established as a reaction to the circumstances around the growing conflict between West and East in Europe that had emerged after World War II. As time went on the conflict earned the name of “the Cold War”, and affected world politics for many decades. During the Cold War NATO and the alliance’s counterpart in the east, the Warsaw Pact, were the two principal opponents. This long period lasting almost up to the present day was characterised by an extremely antagonistic relationship between the two alliances. The whole world revolved around this particular conflict, which has no historic counterpart, in terms of type, extent or consequences.
The Norwegian Aviation Museum wished to use this opportunity to devise an exhibition that focused in greater detail on the period that the NATO alliance operated in for the majority of its existence: The Cold War. The exhibition is housed in unique surroundings. At the beginning of the 1960s, Bodø Main Air Station constructed an aircraft hangar for the purpose of housing one of the two fighter aircraft squadrons in Bodø: Installation 96. The massive hangar was built into a mountain and designed to be able to withstand nuclear attack. The unique exhibition location, plus the fact that we find ourselves in a military area, contributes to giving the exhibition a unique atmosphere.
The exhibition endeavours to highlight some important aspects of the Cold War: What was the Cold War? What do we associate with it? What were the consequences of the Cold War for you and me? For technological development? For the society we live in? For our culture, and how we regard others and ourselves? We will endeavour to provide answers to these questions through text, pictures and artefacts. It is not our intention to attempt to provide a complete picture of these themes. They are too comprehensive for that. Rather, we are just skimming the surface. Selecting examples. If we succeed, we will have given you food for thought and perhaps inspire you to find out more. In the long term the Norwegian Aviation Museum hopes to be able to build a permanent Cold War Museum, the Cold War Globe. In a way, this exhibition can be regarded as a dress rehearsal. The exhibition’s idea, text and choice of pictures and objects are our work. Errors and shortcomings with these are the Norwegian Aviation Museum’s responsibility. It must however also be said that without assistance and support from many sources the exhibition could not have been brought to fruition. I hope you will find both the exhibition and this little book that you are now holding in your hand, interesting and worthwhile.
