Description: "To increased understanding of the process of military experimentation, this CNA occasional paper examines some of these experiments; today, the technologies need no introduction, and the Second World War provides hindsight through which the experiments and their findings can be viewed. The efforts described here have been chosen as an instructive set, not an exhaustive one. This being a work of analysis, rather than history secondary sources--as well as primary sources in the form of some participants' memoirs--have been used freely."--Publisher's website.
