SRERET 3 FOOTNOTES FOR CHAPTER II i. Slippage in B-57 production resulted from the fact that the aircraft was supposed to use engines constructed by Wright, but production difficulties had necessitated the use of Studebaker and Buick engines.

Ltr, Brig Gen Maddux "C-54's at Bikini.” 8, 17 Sep 53, subj: The aircraft arresting barrier was designed by the Far East Air Logis— tic Force to halt damaged or runaway aircraft during landings, and aircraft that abort on take-off. Its component parts were nylon webbing, steel cable and extremely heavy anchor chain. The barrier, closely resembling a tennis net, stands four to Live feet above the runway. When an aircraft strikes the net, the arresting cable rises and makes contact with the main landing gear, reducing the aircraft's speed. The cable then drags the heavy chains along the rmway, further slowing the aircraft. AFWUHO
