| Debra Zibreg Hargis Jamestown, NY | The TDR-1 was manufactured and tested in Jamestown, NY.
I am making a display of the TDR-1 for the Lucile Wright Air Museum in Jamestown, NY. I want this TDR-1 display to include the research & development, the manufacturing, the testing, the Top Secret nature of the program, their use in the Pacific War, and the restoration of the TDR-1. I am also searching for parts and props to use in the TDR-1 display. The history of the era surrounding the TDR-1 would also be helpful for this display of the TDR-1 I will kindly share any information I have on the TDR-1. 01/04/2013 @ 03:29 [ref: 67472] |

| David Malmad Anaheim, CA | My father was stationed on Banika with the Navy and while not involved with STAG-1, he did mention knowing of a few people working on a special Navy project regarding remote control. I will be presenting a short talk at my CAF unit this May 2012. Would appreciate hearing from anyone including family members who were involved with the TDR-1
Thank you 03/21/2012 @ 14:06 [ref: 54369] |

He or she deserves all the credit. I would like to make copies of the film to a DVD and send it to whomever wants it, FREE OF CHARGE OF COURSE. I certantly do not want to step on any copy rights toes. IF ANYBODY KNOWS if there are any copyright issues, let me know. Also my father is Roger Newton who worked on the STAG-1 Project. I have some photos that someone may want copies as well. Respectfully submitted; James Newton KD8AJC@GMAIL.COM 02/28/2012 @ 05:59 [ref: 53466] |

| Connie Pracht , CA | My dad, Ray Pracht, was in the STAG One--he was trained at Navy Pier, then in Florida, Clinton Ok, Travis City and Monterey. He was a machinist or mechanic and also trained as a gunner and photographer. He died in 2005. I am looking for others who knew him as I have photos of his team mates and would like to put names with the faces for the book I am assembling on his life. 02/17/2012 @ 20:23 [ref: 53113] |
