  • My dad was an AC on a B-47 stationed at Homestead, 19 Bomb Wing. We lived on Texas Ave in base housing up until 1961. I watched the ceremony and landing of the first B-52s just before dad retired. My uncle was an engineer at Martin Marietta in Orlando. Great to hear your story...Thank you.

  • BTW. Your job was crucial! Check out Brian Hayes "A Lucid Interval" quote:-"...Errors caused by these limitations of digital machines are usually small and inconsequential, but sometimes every bit counts. On February 25, 1991, a Patriot missile battery assigned to protect a military installation at Dahrahn, Saudi Arabia, failed to intercept a Scud missile, and the malfunction was blamed on an error in computer arithmetic...."

  • Amazing piece of 'Archive' testimony. Have a wonderful retirement William, as we say in Scotland, "May the radient sun always shine upon your face and may a perfumed breeze be to your back, and fill your sails" Cod Bless.
