Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories conducted two field programs at the White Sands Missile Range to obtain experimental data for the Climatic Impact Assessment Program of the Department of Transportation. These data provide a prediction of the residence time and behavior of exhaust products deposited by supersonic aircraft in the stratosphere. The data were obtained by photographing smoke trails from rockets and aircraft dispensing systems. This report describes the development and flight results of (1) the rocket dispensing system, designed to produce vertical smoke trails over the 12- to 25-km region, and (2) the aircraft dispensing system, designed to produce horizontal trails at 16- and 20-km altitudes.

Detailed measurements of the vertical profile of the wind are urgently needed for studies of the response of rising missiles, but conventional wind-measuring systems cannot provide the accuracy and detail required over the necessary range of altitudes. A method is presented for obtaining a detailed, accurate profile over a large altitude range. The method utilizes photogrammetric measurement of successive positions of the trail of an ascending rocket. Construction of a rocketborne smoke generator is discussed and the photography, film reading, and data-reduction procedures are described. The accuracy of the method is examined and error equations are derived. Finally, some examples of wind profiles measured by this method are shown, and their implications for missile response are indicated.

Time-lapse photographs of smoke trails deposited in the stratosphere have been measured and analyzed to provide data for the determination of winds and wind shears. Optimization techniques were required to define camera parameters with sufficiently high precision. In combination with a triangulation program that exploits the advantages of vector and matrix methods, the techniques lead to consistent three-station results that are used to construct wind profiles with an altitude resolution of 10 m.

The journals of a Battle of Britain Pilot. Tony Bartley epitomised the young, dashing fighter pilot of the Battle of Britain. Born in Ireland but educated in England, he joined the RAF at the outbreak of war. He flew Spitfires with 92 Squadron from RAF Hornchurch, first in the battle of France, then covering the Dunkirk evacuation. Later in 1940 he moved to RAF Biggin hill and flew daily over London at the height of the Battle of Britain. Bartley went on to test-fly Spitfires, them led 65 Squadron, then 111 Squadron in North Africa and also flew with the American 9th Air Force covering the Normandy landings. His account relives the close atmosphere of close knit fighter squadrons and also the respite offered by the London social life. He met and married the actress Deborah Kerr and moved to Hollywood where he became a screen-writer and later a film company executive.
