Fascinating, thanks. Finally I know how the WAC Corporal came to be.

I will pass this on to an acquaintance of mine with more than a passing interest in rockets ... not sure he knows of this.

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I loved the statement " As Parsons and Forman already knew, there was just something awesome about setting things ablaze." :lol:
