On this week’s episode of the America 250: Air and Space Power podcast, we continue our tour around the nation to learn more about the key artifacts, places, and people that helped pioneer air and space power. Heather, Doug, and Charles visit New Jersey and explore a site where U.S. Army scientists first bounced radar waves off the moon in a quest to detect ballistic missiles. We also discuss how a B-17 relic embodies dedication to duty, sacrifice, and remembrance.
