Show Friday, June 25, THE HILL TOP TIMES Page 6 Wide Open Spaces Nof for Hill Base Captain To Turkey Mission Radar Trained Crews The days are gone forever when the Air Force, will need wide open spaces to train'bomber crews in the art of mass destruction. Radar, that electronic marvel that established contact with the moon, has been handcuffed by the Air Force and made to reveal the striking point of imaginary bombs. Fantastic? Wait 'til you hear the rest of the story. At an altitude of 30,000 feet, without a bomb in the plane, a bombardier can trip his bomb release and tell exactly where the bombs would have struck had it been a real mission with real bombs. The really amazing part of the 35,000 feet. With all this knowledge whole set up is this: the radar at their finger tips, they can figure units that determine the accuracy the "trajectory" or path of a falling exact establish of the bombardier's calculations are all located on the ground a considerable distance away from the target! One of these well trained, highly skilled radar bombing units is temporarily operating f rom Hill Air Force Base. It's commanding officer, Lt., John A. Schlupp, said his unit is one of ten within the Air Force. All ten units, are based at Fort Worth, Texas, but travel around the nation training bomber bomb and of impact. the point All they need from the bombardier is a radio signal the instant the bomb, release is tripped. Planes based as far away as Tampa, Florida; Forth Worth, Texas; and Spokane, Washington, have flown simulated bombing missions to targets near Hill Air Force Base, according to the Lieutenant. Theoretically the targets have been wiped out, he stated. Perhaps Ogden and Salt Lake do not even show on the maps anycrews. more they too have been "With this device," Lt. Schlupp "wiped perhaps so much as without out," said, "bomber crews can use cities, a particle of dust being disturbed. landing fields, factories, or any . other military objectives as their targets and never disturb so much as a brick. And the bombardier can find out exactly where each bomb would have struck had it been dropped," he added. Each of the ten radar bombing units are staffed by 10 enlisted men and one officer.1 Each' has a special job which he knows from Alpha to Omega. Together they can track a bomber ' through the sky, plot its course, figure its speed and altitude and determine wind velocities at any altitude up to .

This percentage of accuracy is far above the national average. ' The rate of accuracy was attributed to the excellent condition in which the stocks have been maintained by Collings.
