AIRCRAFT ROCKET TESTS (Continued) A typical aircraft rocket test is carried out in the following manner : The rockets specified for testing are loaded onto the airplane's launchers at the Harvey Field loading area. The pilot has the necessary information regarding the purpose of the test, flight conditions at the time of firing, and the range to be used. Under the wing of the airplane is a torpedo camera and, in many cases, a gun-sight motion- picture camera. These cameras are loaded with film and connected to the rocket firing circuits so that they will function automatically at the instant of firing. At the time specified for the test, the pilot takes off and flies to the target area. Near the target, the range officer and his assistants await the arrival of the airplane in a control tower. Usually before the aircraft comes into sight, two-way radio communication is established. The flight course is marked by rectangular white pylons, and the pilot orients his airplane so that he will fly along the line made by these markers as he approaches the target. Thus, all passes over a target are made in either of two opposite directions. 26
