Even though the quality of this test equipment was poor, our own

technicians improvised temporary wiring that permitted the use of

most consoles—at least on a temporary and partial basis.

(U) APS-95 Equipment Engineering Changes: A team of Hazeltine

personnel arrived at this headquarters on 1 November to perform

manufacturerls engineering changes on APS-95 equipment. Approximately 5% of line operating receivers had been retrofitted, but on

15 November the team departed for Lockheed, Ontario, to retrofit

Otis aircraft. Upon completion of work at Ontario, the team was

expected to return to this station to complete retrofit of receivers

and to refit all SM-190 monitor groups to the latest engineering

changes. The Hazeltine team did not return to McClellan as expected

and at the close of this period, only two receivers had been updated.

A formal letter was being prepared to Hazeltine requesting their intentions.

(U) APS-95 Task Group Meeting: Personnel from this headquarters attended a task group meeting at Dayton AFD on 14 and 15 November.

Topics of discussion of major importance to this wing were as follows:

ADC requested full declassification of the APS-95. WADD made tentative a

greement and will forward declassification instructions.

Hazeltine advised that at least 20 in-flight kits (in-flight spares)

would be delivered to each wing by the end of November. ADC was

taking action to class the in-flight spares as 780 equipment.

•

Hazeltine was requested by the operating wings and Dayton

AFD to expedite shipment of updated schematics and instructions for mo maintenance

difications and retrofit work which was being accomplished. Wings were asked to inventory all APS-95 compon-

.ents by serial number and submit to Dayton and Hazeltine. Our

inventory was completed and submitted to SMAMA on 25 November.

Hazeltine advised that production of follow-on spare parts

had begun and delivery will commence in April 1961 with complete

delivery expected by September 1961.

atributed to

cerror. Action has been taken to color code all fittings, air and the oolant lines to prevent recurrence. The aircraft was returned to SMA.MA facilities to be reconditioned.

(U) Radiation Hazards: Contact was made with WADD for firm

aresolution regarding radiation hazards and damage of refueling ircraft in the proximity of op receipt from ARDC and WADD, erating radar equipment. Upon

appropriate wing regulations were published for control of ground operation of radar equipment.

(U) AN/APS-T4 Trainer: The basic T-4 trainer 

construction was completed this period with only the air 

conditioner not yet functioning. Some delay was caused by burnout of the motor generator; however, civil engineering r

(U) Height Simulator Problems: As a followup on a command assist- ance request to resolve the target height simulator 

call was made to Ogden AMA on 20 problems, a phone De information on depot intentions. cember to attempt to gain

al information was that ADC recognizes that height simulation Inform is not e ssential to the T-4 type training in 

view of the many technical problems involved. This headquart- ers. had not been so advised, and f command as ollowup action on the request for sistance was being initiated..

Page s of 16 Pages
(U) Reparable Items, T-4 and MB-13: By request, authority was

granted this wing by Ogden AMA to ship certain items of the T-4

and the MB-13 direct to the manufacturing agency for repair.

Considering the limited number of these items produced, this was

considered the most economical and most expedient method of maintaining the operating capability of the trainers.

(U) Communications and Nav/Aids: With compliance of T.O. 1C121R-573 which gave the pilot UHF backup capability using set #7 and

#8, the radio operator lost capability to monitor UHF set #6. An

operational requirement exists for radio operators to monitor and

log all radio transmission. This requirement was submitted to

SMAMA for engineering study. With the advent of T.O. 1C-121-733,

this headquarters devised a means of restoring this capability to

radio operators. Permission was given by SMAMA for a prototype

installation and was completed and evaluated. This modification

was submitted to SMAMA and T.O. 1C-121-733 was to be revised

accordingly.

(U) ARC-5 Radio: A request for Class V modification to remove

ARC-5 radio equipment was submitted by this headquarters. An

interim Class I modification was authorized to remove Group "B"

(black boxes) components. Class V modification to remove the

entire ARC-5 system was finally approved and is pending formal

publication as a technical order by SMAMA.

(U) Single Sideband HF Radios: This wing received definite word

that single sideband HF radios were programmed for installation in

our fleet. As of 31 December no further word on the program had

been received, but it was expected to commence during the latter

half of FY 1961.

(U) T.O. 1C-121-733: T.O. 1C-121-733, installation of pilot's UHF

fingertip control box (C-1904) was published. This was previously

complied with on all "C" models on an interim authority from SMAMA.

Difficulties experienced with pre-set channels were resolved to be

inexperience and unfamiliarity of operation.

(U) Unsatisfactory Reports: A total of 77 unsatisfactory reports was submitted during this quarter. A rising trend was noted, especially in engine UR I

s; 19 in October, 21 in November and 37 in December. Due to the number of UR Is submitted on engines overhauled by

Aerodex, SAAMA initiated a quick-fix program. Of the 37 LTR is

in December, 28 were written against engines.

UR 60-257 cited a quality control deficiency in newly o manifold pressure tr verhauled ansmitters, type ST-5E. MAAMA replied that the deficiency was due to an error in the overhaul technical order,

T. O. 5P5-3-7_3, and that action was being taken to correct the

(U) Diversions: Above-normal periods of fog and low visibility r

esulted in a record number (36) of terminal diversions December. Con during solidation of the diverted a sc ircraft with the normal heduled returns during short periods of clear weather resulted in peak maintenance workloads during swing and night shifts and greatly increased scheduling problems.

of o Fleet Service Section: This quarter has been the first full period

E peration of the 552d fleet service section by the civilian contractor. xcellent results have been o

spirit of t btained in the quality of the work and the eamwork and cooperation that exists between the militar

and civilians. This section is definitely mission oriented. y

Also gratifying has been the cost to the Air Force for this service.

Fifteen months ago, the fleet service section had UMD authorization for 27 airmen, representing a p

otential monthly expense of $5, 550.60

Page 9 of 16 Pages
c-.17,f,KI: I

for salaries. At that time, this headquarters reviewed the work

specifications and forecast a monthly cost of $3,500 for the civilian

contract. The approved billing for November 1960 was. $3, 526.

(U) Emergency Landing of Aircraft: On two separate occasions,

aircraft of the 552d Wing had to make emergency landings at Alameda

Naval Air Station because of an inoperative engine. Both cases

necessitated engine changes and the transporting of serviceable

engines to Alameda and reparable engines back to SMAMA.

(U) Linen Exchange Section: On 15 December 1960, the "Consolidated

Linen Exchange Section" was established in the 552d Wing. This was

the first step in a planned program to centralize all housekeeping

activities, thereby simplifying the eventual wing consolidation of all

supply activities.

(U) Stock Record Cards: A complete reconstruction of AFN account

stock records (84B ts) was initiated. In the past, the rapid expansion

of the "N" account operation necessitated a sacrifice of records

refinement for direct aircraft support. The reconstruction of the

stock record cards will be completed in the very near future and

should eliminate most of the existing errors and improve accounting

methods and procedures.

(U) Rewarehousing: Complete rewarehousing of the "N" account is

near completion. With the process of rewarehousing, all locations

have been verified or changed to reflect the true location.

(U) Project "Let Loose:" In compliance with project "Let Loose"

under the direction of ADC, an line items were being reviewed

against available consumption data in order to purge our facilities

of all excess material which became overage, outdated and no longer

suitable to our needs.

(U) Inventory: At the end of this period a complete inventory of the

"N" account was in the process of being accomplished and was expected

to be completed in January 1961. This was long overdue and should

bring the stock record balances up to date.

(U) Materiel Control: Materiel control is now operating and complying in accordance with the contents of AFM 66-1. This has relieved

Page 10 of 16 Pages

C r r) CT
Ft I • .4 3.

the "N" account of the added responsibility of processing the majority

of reparable items for base and field maintenance repair. This in

turn has released the needed manpower to other sections where a

shortage of manpower exists.

The "N" account will transfer several supply personnel to

materiel control as soon as practicable in order that they may

manage and fulfill their requirements in accordance with current

directives.

AFN account was in the process of transferring to materiel

control the responsibility of maintaining bench stock and pre-issue

items in support of the ground power section of the field maintenance squadron. Target date for completion was 9 January 1961.

(U) Support Problems: Support to maintenance, in general, was

above par; however extreme difficulty was experienced in securing

sufficient quantities of power recovery turbines shields used on

our aircraft engines. Command assistance was requested and as

of this date, this problem had not been resolved.

Extreme problems were encountered in support of the APS-95

radar which was in the process of replacing the APS-20 radar.

Promised spare parts to support those aircraft already retrofitted

with the new equipment were not received. The percentage of

ANFEls increased considerably due to this condition.

Personnel:

(U) Effective 2 November 1960, personnel functions were removed

from subordinate units and consolidated at a centralized location in

wing headquarters. This activity has been broken down into four

operating functions: officer personnel, airmen personnel, special

actions division and training division.

(U) Overall airmen manning within the wing remains favorable;

however, shortages exist in the following specialties and manning

assistance was requested from 28th Air Division: 301X1 (aircraft

electronic navigation equipment repairman), 422X0. (instrument

repairman), 552X1 (painter), 421X1 (aircraft propeller repairman),

432X1 (reciprocating engine mechanic), 582X0 (fabric leather and

rubber products repairman), and 732X0 (personnel). Headquarters,

28th Air Division has aduised that manning assistance in AFSC s

is ,

4,01%r rnair•
301X1, 422X0 and 552X1 will be forthcoming, however, immediate

manning assistance is not available in remaining AFSCs since our

manning level in those AFSCs is comparable to other units of the

division.

(U) The wing reenlistment rate for the period was 68%. Total number

of eligibles amounted to 110 of which 55 were first term airmen.

(U) A total of 31 officers were selected for promotion to the grade of

Major, however, only 9 will assume the rank as of 1 January 1961.

(U) During the quarter a monthly average of 381 airmen were on OJT

within the wing. Of these a total of 103 airmen were upgraded as

follows: 25 to the "3" level, 55 to the "5" level, and 23 to the "7"

level. Sixteen airmen were withdrawn from OJT. With a maximum

of 75 points, the ADC OJT achievement award results are as follows:

Oct - 70, Nov - 57, Dec - 70, fourth quarter average - 70.

(U) 1 October 1960, Lt Colonel Vincent .T Graves, 4899A was assigned

duty as director of operations. A

( U) Colonel Robert J Loughry, 8229A, deputy commander, assumed

command of the wing, 17 October 1960 upon reassignment of Colonel

Charles F Knierim, 3378A.

(U) Captain David W Hess, 28596A was assigned duty as chief,

manpower and organization on 16 December 1960. I

Comptroller:

(U) At the close of the second quarter of FY 1961, O&M funds were

committed and obligated in the amount of $333, 641.15 and $331, 290.75 respectively.

(U) During the quarter a total of 20 management improvement

suggestions were evaluated: four were approved for awards, two

were returned for further evaluation to the staff, and 14 were rejected. A total of $45.00 in cash was awarded by this headquarters, with a possibility of further award from higher headquarters. Two $25.00 awards were received during this period from Air Defense Command

for suggestions submitted prior to this quarter.

Community Relations and Public Information:

(U) Discoverer Activities: During the quarter, over 50% of our

information effort was expended to obtain national, regional and local

recognition of the 552d AEW&C Wing's participation in project Discoverer. Local coverage in daily and weekly newspapers, and both radio and television, has been extensive, however, public

recognition outside of the greater Sacramento area is generally

lacking. The basic problem is that Air Force Ballistic Missile

Division runs the program and is the major source of news. They

have provided some cooperation by making suggested changes in

their pre-launch press kit and in arranging some news coverage,

however, they naturally concentrate on their own units. BMD's

control, plus the primary news interest in the men who actually

make the recovery, results in a very little national coverage for this wing. We are now concentrating on arranging for firstperson feature stories by various news media. During Discoverer

XVTII, Mr. Cornelius J Ryan of Reader's Digest accompanied our crews to Hickam AFB. He and Mr. Birch Storm of the HonoluluAdvertiser flew the actual recovery mission aboard an RC-121D.

The Reader's Digest story is due in the March issue. Other news

agencies have been contacted and a

a rrangements made for them to ccompany future deployments.

(U) A total of seven static displays of the RC-121 were conducted during the quarter.

(U) Five public speeches were made by wing personnel during this

period. Four of the speeches were made in Sacramento area public

schools on the subject of Air Defense. The fifth speech was made in

a local Methodist church and tied in the Air Defense contribution to peace on Thanksgiving.

(U) A NORAD all service static display and "plane dedication" was

held in Pasadena on 5 and 6 October. This display, DOD 

approved, was sponsored by the Los Angeles Air Defense Sector and held to

promote interest in aviation and an Air Defense emphasis in the

Pasadena School curriculum. A 552d Wing RC-121D aircraft was painted "Spirit of Pasadena City Schools" by the Lockheed Aircraft Company.

(U) Continuation of publicity of the ADC "Life Saver 1960" accident

prevention campaign included a drive to encourage wing personnel

to install safety type seat belts in their privately owned vehicles.

Sgt Hoadley instituted the program, making arrangements with a local manufacturing firm, Tulareloft, of Tulare, California to supply the seat belts at cost. Sale of belts in handled as a work-a-day

function of the safety office. During the period 26 October, the date

the program was started, and 31 December 1960, wing personnel

had purchased 58 seat belts. Some units have utilized the seat belts

as prizes for their Airman of the Month.

(U) Flight Accident Experience: In addition to performing its primary mission of providing round-the-clock early warning and control

coverage of the west coast, the wing was called on frequently to

provide aircraft, flight crews and maintenance personnel in support

of project Discoverer. Although added hardships and accident

exposure were entailed in basing such aircraft and personnel at an

overseas station, the unit continued its primary mission without

reduction in effectiveness and without accident or reportable incident

for the quarter; thus completing the year 1960 with a zero accident/

incident rate.

(U) Conclusion of the year 1959 with a 2.98 accident rate and 67,185 flying hours was so surpassed by the zero rate and 67, 355 hours

for 1960, that request was made through 28th AD (SAGE) for 552d

Wing nomination for award of the USAF Flying Safety Plaque.

(U) Flight safety was somewhat compromised during the award

period by (1) considerable reduction in availability of assigned aircraft due to a radar modification program, (2) zero ceilings and visibilities

encountered at McClellan during December, which required the

diversion of many RC-121D aircraft to recovery bases, and, (3)

heavy training demands to qualify many relatively inexperienced

pilots as aircraft commanders to replace losses of experienced

personnel in this category.

Administrative: 

(U) A command-wide general inspection was conducted during the

period 7 through 18 November by the Inspector General, 28th Air

Division. A general evaluation revealed no major discrepant areas

affecting mission accomplishment.

Page 15 of 16 Pages
Awards & Decorations:

(U) lst Lt Fredrick J Kline, A03064384, 963d AEW&C Squadron was

awarded the USAF Excellence-in-Competition Pistol-Shot Badge for

superior shooting skill displayed during major 1960 competitions.

Classification and Regrading Action:

(U) This document is classified Seeret- as its contents reveal the

effectiveness and capability of this command. Regrading action

cannot be determined at this time.

Administration: 

(U) Effective 21 April 1960 the manpower and organization office was removed from the directorate of operations and designated as a special staff section. Major James R. Youngs, Jr., *

13159A, was assigned as chief of manpower and anization. 1

Op ; rations:

—(5)- During the second quarter calendar year 1960 we flew 

a hours of 16, 992:10 hours total of 16, 916:20 p

rogrammed. Of the total, 8737:10 hours on-station time was programmed and 8684:46 hours were flown giving an effectiveness rating of 99.6% for the quarter. This increase of .3 of a percentage point eff oVer e

ectiveness for the first quarter of 1960 raises the wing average effectiveness to the highest level for one quarter in the history of the wing.

(U) The wing p

articipated in seven exercises during the quarter. Favorable comments were received from WADF concerning our N participation. A major ORAD-wide exercise (Desk Top III) took place on 8 June 1960. All wing

activities were exercised (actively or simulated) with satisfactory results.

Problem areas brought to light by the exercise were resolved ter subsequent to its mination. Since Desk Top III was an STM synthetic exercise, little actual flying was involved. However, the wing was directed to

project was concluded when the satellite ceased transmitting data.

(U) The dualex system has continued to be used as a primary means of com

SECROFT--
-1st During this quarter two deployments to Hickam AFB were made in

support of Project Discoverer. The first deployment was made during the

period 13 through 17 April to attempt recovery of the Discoverer XI capsule.

Launch of Discoverer XI was successful; however, re-entry of the recoverable capsule failed to occur in the planned impact area. The second deploythent was made during the period 21 through 30 June. During this deployment a practice recovery operation was conducted with very successful results.

Two capsules were air-dropped and both were air-recovered. The actual recovery of the Discoverer XII capsule, scheduled to occur during this deployment

was not attempted due to failure of Discoverer to establish a successful orbit.

Personnel:

(U) Our reenlistment rate for this quarter was 51.4%. Total number of eligibles

amounted to 57, of which 16 were career airmen.

. (U) An aggreseive on-the-job training program continued through the quarter

with a total of 395 airmen on OJT. During the period 101 airmen completed OJT

and were upgraded as follows: to the 3 level - 10, to the 5 level - 63, and to the

7 level - 28.

(U) Overall airman manning continues to remain at near authorized strength.

However, shortages exist in the following career fields: 421XL - propeller repair;

421X3 - ground power; 702X0 - administrative clerk.

(U) During the period three officers were released from active duty and

one officer retired. Sixteen officers received promotions in June as follows:

1 to dolonel, 3 to Lt colonel and 12 to major.

(U) Officer manning has remained pretty firm; however, we are now

experiencing a 'shortage of pilots, navigators and controllers.

Materiel:

(U) During the period 1 April through 30 June 1960, several changei occurred

within the organization of the director of materiel. The Director of Materiel,

Colonel Oscar H Geismar, was reassigned to Chateauroux, France, departing

this area on 27 June. At the close of this period his replacement although

assigned, had not yet arrived. Captain Don A Tippin, Chief of Electronic

Maintenance, was reassigned to Hq ADC and replaced by Major Robert E Warren.

1st Lt James R Burgener, who had been OIC of the civil engineering section for

approximately one and one-half years, turned full responsibility for this section

over toast Lt Seth B Hodges on 24 April 1960.

ADC Form 102, Historical Record of the 552d AEW&C Wing, cont'd----

Civil Engineering:

(U) Military Construction Program: The following projects were

approved by Hq ADC to be included in the McClellan AFB Fiscal Year

1962 MCP: fleet service ($84, 000), warehouse, supply equipment, base

($58, 000), and Hq, squadron ($263, 000). The necessary supporting documents were prepared by Hq WADF and this headquarters and coordinated

with McClellan AFB master planning section in reviewing each project

before it was presented at Hq AMC on 2 June 1960.

(U) P-459 Program: The modification of building S-1016 was completed

in June 1960. This was the only P-459 project for Fiscal Year 1960.

Hq ADC programmed the obligation of the traveling crane to be

installed in building 1071 for the second quarter of FY 61. This was the

only P-459 project scheduled for Fiscal Year 1961. .

(U) P-458 Program: The O&M minor construction program for the

552d Wing was completely obligated after the rewiring contract was awarded

for building 1046. The following additional projects• were obligated during the fourth quarter FY 60: air conditioning for maintenance control - control room, building S-1017 ($695); air conditioning and partitions for

survival equipment, building 1040 ($5, 975); and electric hoists for the

propeller shop, building 1071 ($4, 914).

The total budget authorization to the civil engineering section for

Fiscal Year 1960 was $41, 900 and obligated funds on 30 June 1960 totaled $41, 250.

Maintenance:

(U) Engine Problem: The engine failure rate declined greatly during

this period due to the installation of new pistons on all engines being received from overhaul. At the close of this period, there were 121 new

piston engines installed on possessed RC-121 and TC-121 aircraft. The

main cause of engine failure now is the impeller drive area. Project

action was initiated by MAAMA to require the installation of bronze

impeller drive pinion bushings to alleviate this type failure.

(U) Inspections: The following one-time inspections of all RC-121

aircraft assigned the 552d Wing were accomplished by quality control:

Page 3 of 14 Pages

CFri?P-7
SECRE 

ADC Form 102, Historical Record of the 552d AEW&C Wing, cont'd----

(1) Aileron boost and aileron hinge bolts for frozen and corroded bolts

and for any other defects, (2) Aileron torque tube assembly and aileron

center connecting flange for loose and missing screws, (3) Landing gear

lower drag shock strut assembly to preclude fatigue of main landing gear

lower drag shock struts, and (4) A Wing Letter was published, as

follow%) action, for proper lubrication of control surface hinge pins to

provide lubrication at each postflight, periodic inspection and after each

aircraft wash job.

(U) Training: Seven weeks of Phase II training on the contents and use of AFM 66-1 was accomplished. The purpose of this course was to

indoctrinate all supervisory personnel in the procedures outlined in

AFM 66-1 relative to machine listings of Exception Time Accounting

(ETA) and Maintenance Data Collection (MDC).

(U) Conferences: Personnel of the various staff sections of the chief

of maintenance attended a two day conference at Hq WADF during May

on the familiarization of AFM 66-1 supplemented. The conference was

very beneficial in clearing up many problem areas in the field and also

assisted in the submission of the ADC K-25 report (Monthly Maintenance

Transfer of reparable processing responsibility was effected on 9 May 1960 from materiel control to AFN 2555 supply account.

(U) Unsatisfactory reports: From 1 April through 30 June 1960,

PICO submitted 69 unsatisfactory reports. This number was less than the

average amount submitted previously; however, with the inception of the

maintenance data collection system and the 1 April 1960 revision of T.O. 00-35D-54, many UR ts were no longer considered necessary.

(U) RC-121D Aircraft S/N 55-133: A review of RC-121D aircraft,

55-133, revealed the following:

On 1 July 1957 aircraft hours were 1615 hours.

On 1 July 1960 aircraft hours were 7112 hours.

During this period aircraft lost 203 days due to Mod and PARC.

The net result was: aircraft accomplished 5497 flying hours with

overall average of 187.6 hours per month for a three-year period.

(U) APS-95 Radar: The first two aircraft retrofitted with APS-95

radar were received from SMAMA facilities during this period. Although

testing had not been completed by Lockheed on the prototype, it was

deemed advisable to accept the first aircraft to indoctrinate personnel in familiarization and expedite resolution on known problems.

A lack of acceptance criteria on the APS-95 imposed many problems. The initial receipt of aircraft was unsatisfactory. Due to high sensitivity of overvoltage relay, aircraft alternators kicked off the line at the

least indication of transmitter overload. This made it extremely difficult to trouble-shoot and consumed unnecessary time as the

An APS-95 DPG meeting was held at Lockheed Aircraft C orpora- tion, Burbank, California, on 2 and 3 June to discuss problems 

and progress of the APS-95 modification.

On 3 June a representative from Hughes Aircraft reported to this

area to review the antenna problem and departed again without being able to resolve the problem.

On 8 June a thorough exa

aircraft 127 was made by mination of the antenna, installed on

Hughes, ARDC, SMAMA and other 

representatives of Lockheed, Hazeltine, interested personnel. The equip- ment was fired up in darkness at 2200 hours to more readily detect the defective areas of the antenna.

On 9 June the antenna on aircraft 127 was removed and shipped to Hughes Aircraft for research and analysis. A new antenna was installed on the aircraft and again fired up in darlcuess. The over 

results showed the new antenna had the same defects. There wasa ll reduction in int a marked

p erference due to a screen bonding between the antenna edestal and aircraft structure that was improvised. Prior to fastening the screen to fuselage, there was extreme arcing around the area of

the pedestal to aircraft structure which immediately ceased when

bonding was completed. Pictures were taken of the installation and

attempts were made to photograph the arcing condition.

Aircraft 127 was test flown again 11 June to determine the amount of RF radiation in crew compartments and evaluation of range mark

count down fix and video decay between APS-95 and APA-56 consoles.

Range mark count down fix as devised locally proved successful and was initiated as MEO #49 for implementation in all APS-95 equipped

aircraft. Video correlation had improved to a marked degree but final

resolution had not been completed. Testing of the aircraft ceased

pending arrival of Hazeltine, Lockheed and Hughes personnel for

resolution of the antenna fix.

Mr. Boothroyd of Hughes Aircraft arrived on 15 June with a modification kit for the APS-95 antenna system. This kit was installed and

the antenna ground checked under full transmitter power for conditions of arcing. The arcing conditions previously encountered apparently

were eliminated and it was decided to check the systems in flight.

Aircraft 127 was airborne at 1800 hours, 15 June, with representatives of the 552d Wing, ARDC, Hazeltine, Lockheed and Hughes Aircraft. The

APS-95 systems were checked from low altitudes up to 15,000 feet. Station track was established from Ukiah with center point 25 miles south. Although the flight was primarily to check the antenna for arcing, the

following conditions were noted: (1) No arcing of RF energy could be

detected visually, nor was it indicated by any other APS-95 (2) considerable component, improvement in video levels between the APS-95 and

APA-56 was noted, (3) magnetron pulling still existed, and (4) loran,

radio altimeter and radio interference problems still existed but no

attempt was made to thoroughly investigate these items. No checks

were made to determine RF energy levels within the cabin or baggage compartment areas. Readings obtained on the 11 June flight indicated no hazardous condition in either area.

Another flight test of aircraft 127 was conducted on 17 June for

the purpose of checking video compatibility of'the APS-95 and the APA-56

radar systems. Secondary reason for the flight was to recheck for

antenna arcing and the reduction of RI energy within the crew compart- ment and baggage areas. Representatives of 552d Wing operations and

electronic maintenance, 552d EM Squadron, Hazeltine and Lockheed

participated in this flight. The major portion of this flight check was

conducted at 14,000 feet. Weather did not permit a higher altitude.

Lockheed supplied a fix to eliminate conditions of video decay

between the APS-95 and the APA-56 consoles. This fix was basically

a correction in video termination impedance at each console and an

adjustment of video voltage output from the APS-95 receiver. The

systems were checked satisfactory on the flight of 17 June.

The flight of 17 June revealed: (1) Video decay appeared to have

been eliminated; however, a complete operational mission check was

needed, (2) No antenna arcing was observed on any part of the antenna

system, (3) Spurious RF energy within the cabin and baggage areas

had been reduced and no arc could be drawn from any portion of the

airframe, (4) Loran interference was determined to be caused by

RF energy reflected from #3 prop blades. Feathering #3 prop completely

eliminated loran interference, and (5) magnetron pulling precluded

effective lock-in of AMTI, though AMTI was partially effective this flight.

Coordination was effected with 552d Wing operations to conduct a

series of flight checks on the APS-95 using all normal systems under

normal operating conditions. Arran.gements were also made to have

sanitation and hygiene personnel make a complete study of personnel

hazards within the aircraft.

Mr. Griffin, APS-95 receiver design engineer of Lincoln Laboratories arrived on 21 June to assist in the resolution of problems with the

APS-95 and APS-56 systems. A special flight was arranged for 22 June

to flight check all normal operating systems and to give Mr. Griffin

an opportunity to view the APS-95 in operation.

The special flight (55-0127) on 22 June departed McClellan at 1000

hours to specifically check the following items and to resolve the question

of mission suitability of the APS-95 equipped aircraft: (1) Recheck

for antenna arcing, (2) video levels at receiver output, (3) video

levels at APA-56 consoles, (4) AMTI functioning and degree of

magnetron frequency pulling, (5) tracking consistency using coordinated

track info from station 7, and (6) interference with loran, UHF, HF

and navigation radio equipment.

Ob servations made from this flight were: (1) Antenna arcing could not be considered a problem at this time, (2) receiver output volta were within design specifications and input to the APA-56 system wag

ersonnel hazards were present in either aircraft

when systems were operated in a normal manner. A note of caution,

however, was that no person should expose himself to RF radiation

in the area of the lower baggage compartment antenna hatch, with the latch removed, and the APS-95 transmitter in full operation. With the latch removed, the RF energy level directly above and around 

door approached the maximum the permissible level. It was also concluded that the RF screen shield around the antenna mount was an unnecessary modification; however, subsequent tests were to be made on other modified aircraft to verify this conclusion.

The tests conducted with 127 and 546 indicated an acceptable 

ready status and both aircraft were released for line mission

operation on 23 June. Data provided by the tests caused release of the temporary freeze on the APS-95 program by ARDC and ADC. Production retrofit resumed on 25 June per ADC message ADLPG-EV 1846.

N/APS-T4 Trainer: During this period it was necessary to

initiate aggressive action to resolve problems in connection with the Landair antenna simulator programmed and contracted T4 trainer. A c

for the AN/APSAMA (Prime AMA), Landair (contractor) and 

onference was held at this headquarters with Ogden

adquarters. This program was at a standstill for a period of a year. Landair was committed to produce results or show cause for default

of contract. A deadline date of 18 July 1960 was established to 

commence acceptance testing of the system or default and forfeiture of contract. At the time of this report, progress had improved and we have been reasonably assured of an operative device.

The air conditioning unit installed in the trainer had long been a problem in the area of maintenance support. Local contractual ance was attempted uns mainten- uccessfully due to supply support N ems. egotiations were finally made with SMAMA to provide thp

to one third stations through five stations at variable locations. Also

as a result of this visit some 80 manpower spaces were identified to be

transferred to SMAMA for support of the wing maintenance function

in the event USAF directs that the required spaces be taken from ADC

resources.

(U) Requests for manpower changes were submitted during the

period in an effort to reorganize the maintenance functions of the wing

and correct deficiencies in the present document for wing headquarters

and all squadrons. These documents were returned without action due

to a deficiency in available spaces in ADC.

(U) Air Defense Command has directed that all personnel functions

be centralized and performed at base level. We have requested a waiver

of this requirement and additional manpower spaces to perform the

current worlcload. In answer to this request a general refusal was

received by WADF from ADC. At the request of WADF a reclama action

was submitted. The grounds for this request were the shortage of

available space, the distance between billets and operating area and the

general overcrowded conditions at McClellan AFB.

(U) A total of 49 military management improvement suggestions

were received and processed during this period. Of this total 25 were

approved and a total of 12 received cash awards at this level.

Community Relations and Public Information:

(U) A weekly 25 minute Air Force news and recorded music program,

"Takeoff with Music," was aired each Sunday at 2005 hours on radio

station KGMS. A weekly five minute "beeper" telephone newscast,

dealing exclusively with the 552d Wing, was aired on radio station KXOA.

A. five minute show which began in February with radio station KROY

was discontinued in April because of a major change in managerial

personnel which dictated numerous program changes.

(U) Major Lloyd G Perry, Headquarters Squadron Commander,

appeared on channel 6, KVIE television, on 4 May, 11 May and 18 May

as a part of a student panel to discuss "Russian Foreign Policy." His

appearance was cleared by the base information officer. A 30 minute

television program was prepared for channel 6 for airing in early July. It involved a 15 minute interview with Major Pelham Burnett of the

wing on our place in the NORAD family and a 15 minute film, "Aerial

Firepower," June's commanders call companion film.

(U) On 10 May, Mr. John Strobel and Mr. Art Rekedal, news

editors of radio station KGMS and newscaster/disc jockey of KXOA,

respectively, accompanied a 964th aircrew on an AAD mission. Taped

interviews with aircrew members were prepared and were aired on

their respective stations. Mr. Strobel's program was aired on KRLA

radio, Los Angeles, on "Scope Unlimited."

(U) A story dealing with the wing mission, written by Bill Holden

of the Lodi News Sentinel was published in the issue of 16 June 1960.

Including a front page eye-catcher picture, the story. ran 116 column

inches, or nearly three quarters of a page. This was a feature

presentation and resulted from a flight made in May by Mr. Holden and his photographer, Paul Zimmerman.

(U) During the quarter a total of 13 static displays of RC-121

aircraft were conducted at McClellan AFB and other bases in California

for school and civic organizations.

Safety: 

(U) Ground accident summaries reflect a downward trend in all

accident categories in comparison with last quarter. The military

disabling injury rate was 5.68 as compared to 6.13 for the first quarter.

There were two fatalities, a total of four for 1960. Ground accident

costs for the period were $68,161.00 for a total of $134,440.00 for

1960. Wing civilian personnel have accumulated 92, 612 manhours

without a reportable accident.

(U) Five of our squadrons (963, 964, and 965 AEW&C Squadrons,

552d PM Squadron and headquarters squadron) received "Awards of

Merit" from the base commander for achieving a yearly ground accident

rate lower than that of USAF.

ADC Form 102, Historical Record of the 552d AEW&C Wing, cont'd---

(U) In addition to continuing to provide an unchanged airborne early

warning and control coverage of the west coast, the wing periodically

supplied aircraft in support of "Project Discoverer" during the second

quarter. In spite of the added accident exposure entailed in basing these

aircraft, crews and maintenance personnel at an overseas station, the

unit continued to provide effective coverage of both missions without

accident or reportable incident.

(U) Records indicate that as of 30 June 1960, the wing's 1960 aircraft accident rate is zero with an accomplished 33,700 flying hours. This

reflects a definite improvement over the rate of 3.4 for the first half

of 1959, and the 2.98 rate for the period 1 July through 31 December

1959.

(U) Information has been received that, as of this quarter, the

964th and 965th AEW&C Squadrons became eligible for receipt of the

ADC, "Award for Meritorious Achievement." This award is presented

to units operating aircraft for a continuous one year period without

accident. The 963d AEW&C Squadron will become eligible on 17 July 1960.

Classification and Regrading Action:

(U) This document is classified-SECTZT as its contents reveal the

effectiveness of this command and the results of a classified project.

Regrading action on this document cannot be determined at this time.

Administrative:

(U) During the period 11 through 22 January 1960 a general inspection of the

wing was conducted by the Inspector General, Western Air Defense Force. A

general evaluation revealed that this command was capable of performing its

assigned mission and there were no major discrepancies or deficiencies noted that would adversely affect current mission accomplishment.

Operations:

During the first quarter of calendar year 1960 the wing was programmed

to fly a total of 16, 580:00 hours. We overflew the programmed time by 1:20

hours. Of the total time 8,762:00 hours on-station time was programmed and

8,669:84 hours were flown giving an effectiveness rating of 99.3% for the quarter.

This is the highest percentage of effective on-station time for a quarter in the.

history of the 552d AEW&C Wing and the month of March was the highest 99.4%

for any one month. During the month of January two unscheduled AAD missions

were flown in support of the wing Operational Readiness Inspection. These two

missions r

esulted'in an additional 11:31 hours of effective on-station time not included in the above.

(U) The use of dualex surveillance reporting as a primary means. of communi- cations on a test basis for station 5 ended 31 January 1960. Dualex 

surveillance reporting by AEW&C stations 1, 3, 5 and 7 began 0001Z 1 February 1,960. 

9 will continue using voice telling Station procedures until ground equipment is installed at the Los Angeles Air Defense Sector shore receiver site. Voice is being used

as back-up communications.

(U) On 1 March 1960 the KAA-29, Triton-Authentication System was in operation for use in air to ground communications placed

authentication. The KAC-], Joint Operation Code, will continue to be used primarily to code and decode messages. •

(S) During the quaiter two deployments in support of Project Discoverer

were made. During the first deployment (25 Jan - 5 Feb 60) a 

successful practice mission was flown by the entire task force. An actual pickup mission was not flown due to a faulty missile. The second deployment (17 Feb - 20 Feb

60) ended without a recovery attempt, again due to a faulty missile.

(U) Several cancellations of scheduled flights by 552d Wing aircraft, to be

used as a test bed for the TEMCO video correlator, were made in January and February due to non-availability .of the specially equipped KC-135. The was unavailable due to p KC-135 erformance of high priority missions on the east coast.•

The possibility of using a SAC Big Blast aircraft in place of the KC-135 proved

unfeasible since such aircraft are not properly equipped for this test. In March,

Air Defense Command directed that our aircraft proceed to Otis AFB, Mass.,

for testing in hopes that TEMCO testing could be conducted jointly with the

higher priority mission. The aircraft departed McClellan on 12 March 1960 ET

and the testing was successfully completed on 19 March 1960. This ended

the 552d AEW&C Wing commitment on the project.

(U) On 17 February 1960, AEW&C stations 15 and 17 were relocated to their

prior coordinates. This action concluded the inbound relocation of the four

stations which took place on 17 December 1959.

(U) During the period from 1 to 6 March 1960 a staff visit was made to the

551st AEW&C Wing, Otis AFB, Mass. Profitable idea exchanges were made.

The quarterly operations inspections of our tactical squadrons was conducted

by the wing operations staff 23-25 March 1960. Each squadron received a

satisfactory rating. In an effort to provide.more efficient utilization of personnel

and materials the tactical squadrons have been reorganized froin a four flight

to a three flight organization.

(U) In accordance with the provisions of AFR 51-6 and ADCM 51-2, Volume 8,

a separate Wing Standardization and Tactical EvaluationBoard was organized.

The board is composed of seven personnel serving as primary duty members.

Previously, bioard members served as an additional duty basis. It is felt that

this new primary duty board will provide for more efficient operation.

(U) During January the wing received an Operational Readiness Inspection by

Air Defense Command during which all aspects of the mission were exercised.

The results of the ORI were most gratifying and revealed no deficiencies that

would prevent the wing from performing its assigned mission.

Personnel:

(U) 8 February 1960, Colonel Morris E Petty, 9516A, former Director of

Operations, 552d AEW&C Wing, was assigned duty as Acting Deputy Commander

and Lt Colonel William H Gibson, 5896A was assigned as Acting Director of

Operations. 1

(U) Officer manning during the period remained at 102%. Again slight overages in pilots and navigators offset our shortage of weapons controllers.

(U) During the quarter 22 of our officers were tendered appointments in the

Regular Air Force out of a total of 76 that applied. This represents a selection

ratio of a little better than 3 to 1. Of those selected 11 were pilots, 9 were

navigators and 2 were non-rated. Eighteen of the 22 were college graduates, 3

possessed 1 to 3 years college and 1 was a high school graduate.

(U) Airmen reenlistment rate for the period 1 January through -31 March

1960 was 36% for the command. Total number of airmen eligible to

reenlist amounted to 89, of this number 28 were career airmen.

(U) At the end of the quarter a total of 431 airmen were on OJT. A

total of 92 were upgraded during the quarter.

(U) Airman manning continued to be near the authorized strength.

Shortages still exist in the following career fields: 271X0 Air operations;

421X1 Propeller repair; 421X3 Ground power; 601X0 Fleet service; 702X0

Administration. These shortages are offset by overages in the radio

and radar operations fields.

Electronic Maintenance:

(U) Test Equipment Facility. Final resolution to the problem of

responsibility for calibration of test equipment was completed by written

agreement with Sacramento Air Materiel Area. The facility, previously

established in building 1042 by the electronics maintenance squadron, was

to remain; however, equipment and facilities were picked up by Sacramento

AMA on their Unit Authorization List and the facility manned entirely by

SMAMA personnel. Manning was on a normal 40 hour week basis, 0800

to 1700, five days a week. On-call arrangements were available for

weekends, 'holidays, or at other times as deemed necessary to support

mission requirements.

(U) Ground Powered Equipment. During this quarter,, ground powered

requirements for the electronic maintenance building were thoroughly

reviewed, researched and discussed. This has been an area requiring

resolution for the past four years. The matter was resolved with a view

toward future programmed systems and any further problems should be

alleviated. Two MD-4's for 400 cycle AC volts and two MA-2's for DC

volts were procured and transformer capabilities for power input to the

units are being increased. No further problems in this area are anticipated, with the exception of logistic support, currently being reviewed.

•

(U) AN/APS-T4 Trainer. Landair personnel reported to this headquarters in November 1959 to install an APS-45 antenna simulator. It was the

understanding that subject simulator would be a finished product, requiring

Page 3 of 13 Pages

-r

ebb

ADC Form 102, Historical Record of the 552d AEW&C Wing, cont'd----

only installation and time for evaluation. It was apparent after a few

days that in actuality, only the barest essentials with preliminary engineering

were presented. The use of the trainer was made available to Landair for

an extended period of time and support was provided where possible in an

effort to produce an operational simulator. Landair personnel were given

repeated extensions of time and made several attempts to produce an

acceptable item. The APS-45 antenna simulator has never proven

satisfactory. The simulator, in its installation, never had more than

one mode of operation satisfactory at one time. As one mode came into

operation, the next mode could not be obtained. Changes were required

to obtain the next mode and when these changes were made, the original

mode of operation could not be used. The modes that were obtained

could not be aligned or were extremely unstable. It was a considered

opinion that at no time did the antenna simulator come close to being

an acceptable item. Landair departed late in March 1960 without having

accomplished an installation. We were informally advised that another

chance was to be given to Landair to engineer a suitable device. No

target date was given.

The ACTER device installed late in 1959 played an active part in

the training program and emphasis was placed on continued use of this device. As of the period of this report, the ACTER device had become

inoperative and we were experiencing parts procurement problems.

Although similar devices were widely used in ground sites, it has not

been picked up in Air Force inventory. This created a problem of

procuring valid stock numbers for requisitioning action. Prime AMA

(Ogden) was advised of the problem and requested to furnish this headquarters a parts breakdown with valid stock numbers and identification.

During the quarter, a communications jammer device was installed

in the T-4 trainer. This item proved satisfactory and became a part

of the primary trainer. The same problems were present for logistic

support as with the ACTER device, but action is being taken to correct this deficiency.

Since the arrival of the AN/APS-T4 trainer, considerable trouble

was experienced in maintaining a healthy working condition in the vans.

Climatic conditions were controlled by means of an air conditioning

unit that was a combination heat exchanger/refrigerator. Subject

Page 4 of 13 Pages

ADC norm 102, Historical Record of the 552d AEW&C Wing, cont'd----

unit was required to be in operation in excess of 120 hours per week

and was a constant problem source. Due to its complexity SMAMA

personnel and this command have been unable to satisfactorily maintain

this unit. An attempt to maintain the unit by contractual service with

a local contractor was not successful. This was due to unavailability

of descriptive literature and means of identifying and procuring parts.

This problem was brought to the attention of the responsible Prime

AMA and consideration was being given to a possible overall change

to an air conditioning unit that could be supported with local resources.

(U) APS-20 Radar. During this period, a radiation shield was

developed to protect personnel from possible Xray radiation during

operation of the APS-20 radar equipment. An unsatisfactory report

was submitted citing use of this shield as recommended corrective

action. SMAMA gave interim approval as a Class I modification and

it was forwarded to AMC for approval. Shields were locally manufactured and all aircraft retrofitted on the interim approval. At the

close of this period, the local sanitation and hygiene engineering department was conducting a resurvey to ascertain that all spurious radiation

had been eliminated.

(U) APS-95 Radar. A Group "A" Parts Provisioning Conference

was held at Lockhee, 'urbank California, with representation from

this headquarters in attendance: Approximately 500 bits and pieces

were recommended by conferees against the original 40 items recommended by the contractor. In the past, procurement had been

made mostly on contractor's recommendations, but experience had

shown that contractors were not cognizant of unit capabilities or

the many problems that arise in the field. It was felt that the current

provisioning would eliminate many of the problems experienced in the

past in integrating new systems in aircraft.

(U) APS-95 Radar Equipment Training. At the end of this period,

the last two classes of factory training at Hazeltine Corporation was

in progress with graduation dates of 6 May and 17 June respectively.

Training of the first two classes was very inadequate; however, the

present training was deemed satisfactory. The base FTD APS-95

training was scheduled to commence 4 April, providing six-week

classes for a maximum of 20 students per class. The APS-95 MTU

 is at Lockheed for installation of equipment. No target date

was available for its arrival here because of difficulties encountered

in the operational check of the APS-95 equipment.

(U) Prototype APS-95 (A/C 541). The Group "B" equipment had

been installed, smoke test completed and the aircraft in the flight

test phase with a completion date of 30 August 1960. Problems of

design deficiency and incompatibility of the aircraft and APS-95

equipment were encountered. Lockheed and Hazeltine engineers

were attempting to solve the above problems at this time and foresee

no appreciable delay. The magnetron exchange mechanism was redesigned and a recent test indicated the maggie can be changed in

less than 30 minutes.

(U) APS-95 Retrofit Program (A/C 127). The first RC-121D,

Serial Number 127, was turned over to SMAMA on 18 March for

APS-95 retrofit, with a return date of 21 May 1960. Class "A" kit

was received and being installed with only very minor problems.

Class "B" kit (black boxes) were expected to arrive 8 April 1960.

The scheduled input for retrofit was as follows: 1 - March; .1 - April;

2 - May; 4 - June; 4 - July; 4 - August; 4 - September; 4 - October;

4 - November; 3 - December; 3 - February.

(U) Dualex Tapewriter. SMAMA evaluated the installation of a

foot switch for the dualex operator as proposed by this headquarters.

AMC approval was given and engineering prepared a formal technical

order for the installation as proposed.

A request for revision to existing ECL's to include Tektronix

Oscilloscope TS-315 was submitted by this headquarters. This was approved by Hq ADC and forwarded to AMC, requesting interim approval for procurement. Subject oscilloscope is essential to maintenance of dualex equipment.

(U) ALRI. Representatives from this command attended an ALRI

conference at Dayton AFD during the period 23 through 24 March. 2

(U) APS-45 Radar. The new heavy duty type azimuth drive motors

for the APS-45 were received and installed in all aircraft. The

operation increased considerably and the failure turnover rate of

subject drive motor decreased 90 percent.

Supply:

(U) Inspections of the supply functions of the wing were conducted

by WADF on 19-21 January and by wing staff personnel 4-5 January.

Re-inspections and followups were made by wing staff on 8 March.

Additional inspections by higher headquarters included Operational

Readiness, War Reserve Material and Project Count.

(U) Project Count was accomplished during the month of February.

Upon completion of wall-to-wall inventory, new records of locator

files and stock records were established. Pre-post procedures were initiated, which should contribute considerably to the improvement

of accuracy of AFN Account accuracy. Time change supply support

for February was 81 percent and bench stock support was 78 percent.

(U) Disaster Control and Supply Room. The 552d Wing consolidated

disaster control and supply room was completed and utilized during

the monthly simulated alert.

(U) Consolidated Supply List. The consolidation of wing expendable office and housekeeping supplies was established and in operation to support all organizations of the wing.

(U) Active Stock Record Cards. At the end of this period, the

following active stock record cards were being maintained: Category I -

262; Category II - 2732; Category III - 8365; Total - U, 359.

Maintenance:

(U) Parc Schedule Adjustment. A meeting was held on 7 March

between wing maintenance functions and SMAMA functions to resolve the PARC schedule adjustment to include the APS-95 installations. This

will extend the period aircraft are in the PARC cycle and not available

for mission utilization. A technical representative from the APS-95

manufacturer, Hazeltine Corporation, was assigned to the wing on

24 March to assist in the operation and maintenance of the equipment.

(U) Engine/Propeller Problem. At the close of this period, 37 of

the assigned 38 aircraft were equipped with the 43H60 propellers.

RC-121D, S/N 53-0541, at this time bailed to Lockheed, was the only

r

emaining assigned aircraft to be modified and was scheduled for accomplishment immediately upon return. Two Hamilton Standard Propeller Company representatives visited the wing to determine if

any assistance was required in the program. This T.O. compliance

has resulted in increased fuel load on aircraft, extending their

operational range.

(U) Piston Project. As of this date, 78 new piston engines had been

installed and 14 low time engines (0 to 600 hours) were removed for

top overhaul and return to this activity. Four standby engines at

Hawaii were also to be returned for top overhaul upon availability of

replacement new piston engines for standby. During the month of

F

ebruary, 13 aircraft aborts were attributed to piston failures.

Conversion to the new (hard) piston engines is expected to alleviate this piston problem.

(U) Reorganization. C onsolidation of the 552d Field Maintenance

Squadron production control section into the wing maintenance control section was a

ccomplished during this period. This transfer aligned the workload section operation in maintenance control in accordance with AF Manual 66-1, 1 July 1959.

(U) ADC Supplement 6 to AFM 66-1. ADC Supplement 6 to AFM

66-1 was received on 29 March. This established the ADC policy on reports,

charts and functions for the 551st and this wing. Some problem areas

that were anticipated were being consolidated. The monthly maintenance summary will be established according to this publication.

(U) Military Constructixin Program. AF Forms 161, Project tion and Ju Descrip- stification, were prepared and submitted to Hq WADF for the nine-project Fiscal Year 1962 MCP.

(U) P-459 Program. The only project in the Fiscal Year 1960 P-459 funding category was obligated during this period. This project was a $14, 000 modification of building S-1016.

In the FY 61 P-459 program, the only project provided for a 

crane to be installed in the field m traveling

aintenance hangar. This project was estimated at $74, 000.

(U) P-458 Program. The O&M minor construction program, that

was approved by Hq WADF, was completely obligated with the exception

of a $9, 500 project for the rewiring of building 1046. This project was

delayed until the fourth quarter due to obligation ceilings placed on

this headquarters.

Approval was also received to accomplish several projects through

the resources of this headquarters. These projects were: Air conditioning for the maintenance control room ($800); air conditioning for survival equipment ($4, 600); and electric hoists for the propeller shop

($6, 000). Money has been made available to accomplish these projects

during the fourth quarter.

(U) Installed Property. Hoists installed in the 552d Wing were

transferred from UAL property to installed property after a ruling

from Hq USAF that they would be installed property.

Comptroller:

(U) By the end of the third quarter FY 60, O&M funds were committed

and obligated in the amount of $530, 997.86 and $517,482.42 respectively.

This is 99.9% of the commitment ceiling and 99.9% of the obligation • ceiling.

Community Relations and Public Information:

(U) During the reporting period the information office prepared a

weekly twenty-five minute music and news show for radio station KGMS,

and a weekly five minute newscast for radio station KXOA. In addition

another five minute weekly newscast was begun the first week in February

for radio station KROY. During February Channel 6 television (KVIE)

aired the film "Guard of the Sky." The showing of this film was given

extensive prior publicity both on base and through radio media. The

AF News Review for March and the DEW Line film were loaned to

Channel 6 television and were aired on 14 and 17 March, respectively.

(U) A slide series and narrative on the mission of the 552d AEW&C

Wing were sent to Air Defense Command in January 1960.

struck by a lumber truck through failure to yield the right of way.

Total ground accident cost for the first quarter 1960 was $66,279.00.

(U) Major Alan W Elder, Chief of Safety, attended a joint Air Force

and Red Cross "Water and Boating Safety Program" conference, 28 - 29

January 1960 at Hq WADF. Information gleaned from the conferees

was forwarded to the base ground safety office for inclusion in the base

program of indoctrination of military personnel for the oncoming season.

Major Elder was selected to attend the Missile Safety Course, Chanute

AFB, Illinois during the next quarter.

Flight Safety:

(U) The year 1959 closed with the 552d Wing having produced an

enviable official aircraft accident rate of 2.9. The WADF computed

rate, which integrates minor as well as major accidents was 4.9. This was the lowest rate produced by any WADF flying organization. So

far in 1960 the aircraft accident rate is zero for the 16,629 hours flown,

as compared to a WADF computed rate for the wing of 12.07 for the

15, 767 hours flown during the same period of 1959. The wing has been

incident and violation free so far this year.

(U) Twenty-four aircraft accident prevention meetings were conducted

by the three tactical squadrons, utilizing support materials provided by

the wing office for safety. Such materials included the Lockheed film,

"Fuel Jettison Characteristics of the Constellation Airplane." The

film depicts fuel dumping at various aircraft configurations, inclusive

of emergency situations involving structural or engine fire. The wing

office for safety also effected equitable distribution of posters, digests,

bulletins and magazines of a flying safety nature to the seven squadrons

during the report period.

Classification and Regrading Action:

(U) This document is classified-SECRET as its contents reveal the

overall effectiveness of this command and the results of a classified

project.
