This was an eventful and happy experience, except for my family problems with a pregnant and not very well wife. I had a very long, interesting, and fruitful connection with Dahlgren in 1930 and 1931. I have one story about Dahlgren that might be of interest. During our residence there, in postgraduate days, the art of dive-bombing was first being developed. Our child was playing with our dog in the road between our house and the house across the street when a 500-pound water-filled bomb fell about 100 feet away, splashing the child and dog with dirt and uprooting an apple tree. The pilot had to let the bomb go or crash with it, so he let the bomb go, knowing that it would not be in the target area. Fortunately, there was no damage done. The pilot was not very happy about this and neither was I, but such things do occur during the development of new techniques with weapons, and they will continue to occur. In the earlier days at Dahlgren, one of the primary activities concerned naval aviation. There was a short airstrip which was adequate for the planes at that time. Unfortunately, the airstrip was not adequate in length to support modern.
