PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94
Joe Johnston, the electrical engineer at Columbia, whose name
will come up as the person who did these.
Q: But you think in these early service flights you did
have sonobouys?
A: Initially we had sonobouy, according to Crary. We
initially were flying radar targets on the balloons only. Then
by about Flight 5, we'd had sufficient lack of results that we
began putting radiosondes on.

Q: The end report we're going to write is going to be

modern targets, the people who now make targets, who know nothing
about this earlier affair.
Q: We talked with the Signal Corps up at Fort Monmouth and
that's where we got the copy of the engineering drawing, which is
a copy for you. They said these targets are no longer made.
They have a national stock number and they can be made, but they
would have to go out and write a new contract for them.
A: This is the c Model. It doesn't show the
reinforcements.
Q: The young lady I talked with at Fort Monmouth indicated
this drawing pre-dated that time frame. June of '44.
A: I'll be darned.
Q: I found ~hat unusual when she said that was June of
'44, and I didn't pick up on the designation being printed on the
