hONORABLE MENTION

No project of this magnitude could be carried out by a tiny handful of men without a little help from their friends. Jack DeWitt had a small paid staff of professional engineers (Stodola, Mofenson, Webb, and Kauffman) who worked together day in, day out, to carry out the Project. The mathematician Walter S. McAfee was a consultant from another unit but made such a major contribution to the outcome that he needs to be included on the list of key personnel. The extent to which Edwin Howard Armstrong had real-time input into the project is not known, but as the original designer of the equipment that formed the basis for the transmitter and receiver used by the Project, and as the hero of engineers everywhere, he too deserves a place on the list.

But in addition, many others--often working off the clock for sheer love of the project and the honor of being part of it--made critical contributions to this effort. Scientific expertise, equipment, and hands-on know-how from many other fields were needed, sought, and gratefully acknowledged. Here is at least a partial list.
