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.
