USAF 10-1949 to 10-1953 Lackland AFB 3 months, Randolph AFB 3 years 9 months. Continued doing the same work as civil service employee for another 4 years.
Otolaryngology research laboroatory, doing electronic research in the field of audiology, training new AME's, developing noise protection devices to prevent hearing losses. In flight noise testing of military aircraft, on ground testing of jet engine noises. Help design many electronic equipment setups for other medical branch research projects, back in the good old days of vacuum tubes. Helped design the original automatic viewing devices that limited eye exposure to the atomic bomb test firings. Flew as an observer in military fighter chase aircraft, to monitor and observe the early weightlessness tests being conducted with transport type jet aircraft. Helped design monitoring equipment that sent radio signals back to earth, on the condition of the first monkeys that were rocketed into space.
My name is one of three that is on a patent in the name of the US government, for designing an "automatic audiometer".
During the same time, but as an individual, designed a noise dosimeter, to be worn by flight line personnel. Also designed a dental pain monitor and a hearing testing device that weeds out a malingerer.
All the Airstream involvement started in June of 1966. Different, new life.
