A: What the wind did.
The description that Brazel gives here that everything would
weigh about five pounds when it was all together, is more than
you would have gotten from a single balloon.
Q: Those were measured in terms of 300 to 500 grams or
something like that?
A: Three hundred and fifty only. At that time we didn't
have any bigger balloons than 350 grams, so the balloons would
have been 350 grams.
Q: About one pound.
A: correct. And the targets are nominally maybe a quarter
of a pound.
Q: Those targets are only four to five ounces?
A: Here was the specification spelled out for it.
Approximate weight, 100 grams. These, as I say, are somewhat
heavier than the ones we had.
Q: You indicated that the balsa wood was coated with some
sort of glue such as Elmer's glue.
A: That's my memory. It wasn't completely coated. Some
of it was and some of it wasn't.
Q: Some of the balsa wood is fairly dense, as far as being
durable, and one of the descriptions concerning this "wood-like"
material was that you couldn't dent it with your fingernail. So
if you have a fairly dense balsa wood coated with a glue, it may
be quite possible that a person would not be able to put their
fingernail in it.
A: That's correct. It's my memory that the reflective
material was more aluminum foil than here. These are second or
third iteration targets, as evidenced by this picture, wherever
that picture is down in here of the 1948 flight. It certainly
looks more aluminum-foil like.
Q: What year were you discharged from active duty?
A: 1 46.
Q: Before you left active duty, while you were still
working with Duffy and Spilhaus, did they invite you to join the
staff at New York University, or to continue your studies there?
A: I came back from overseas and was assigned to Colonel
Duffy's, he had a little flight detachment assigned to him with a
B-29 and a B-25 and some other aircraft. I ended up being the
