No, it wasn't The plant and airfield was at least a couple of miles
from the DL&W line that ran through Boonton. A.R.C. was west of town,
which was originally built at the falls of the Passaic River along the
Morris & Essex Canal. The field certainly was not big enough for even, I
think, a B-26. The only planes I ever saw there were single-engined. I
know A.R.C. had essentially dummy antennas. I guess ARL at Dayton tested
full aircraft installations, The test results I saw at NRL at Anacostia
were all in single-engine aircraft. Maybe there were tests at the
aircraft factories.
