IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME: AN ORAL HISTORY WITH RADAR PIONEER E. KING STODOLA
Over the course of 3 days in October, 1979, I spent several hours interviewing my father, E. King Stodola, a pioneer in radar during and after World War II and Scientific Director of the first successful attempt to bounce radio waves off the moon, code-named Project Diana, in January of 1946. Until recently, I had only transcribed a few key passages, mostly on Project Diana. Now, thanks to the miracle of AI, I have achieved my longstanding dream of obtaining a complete transcript, including reminiscences about his work with Edwin Howard Armstrong, Father of Modern Radio, and am in the process of editing it to make it available to the scientific community.
