Description
EPH writes to GBH, describing his flight in a B-25 bomber to Eglin Field in Florida and back to give advice on establishing a ballistics lab for the Air Corps. He ran into Dr. Strand in the hall, who had been drafted as a private, and recommended him for the staff of the new lab in Florida. He also briefly attended a meeting of the National Academy before he was called back for a final decision on the wind tunnel's location. He tells GBH that he continues to be "inexcusably fit." With envelope.
