Comments: I would like any information about my father's flight crew. I would also like to communicate with anyone who participated in, or has knowledge of operations during the time my dad was at the above locations. Has anyone suffered any illness related to the operations at the above test locations during the times he was there? My father was diagnosed with Brain Cancer about 1975 and died that year.
