A Cover-Up?
Countering claims of a cover-up, Air Force projects that used
anthropomorphic dummies and human subjects were unclassified and
widely publicized in numerous newspaper and magazine stories, books, and
television reports. These included a book written by test pilot Kittinger,
The Long, Lonely Leap, another book, Man High, by MAN HIGH Project
Scientist, Lt. Col. David G. Simons (MC), a feature article in National
Geographic, and cover stories in Life, Collier's, Popular Mechanics,
and Time. 47 A characterization of Kittinger's record parachute jump even
appeared in the adolescent magazine, MAD. 48 The intense public interest
in HIGH DrvE, ExcELSIOR and other aero medical projects conducted at
Holloman AFB also resulted in a 1956 Twentieth Century Fox full-length
motion picture, On the Threshold of Space (see page 38).
