Coupers I recently by accident got some actual footage of the August 1941 JATO tests conducted by the California Institute of Technology at March Field for the AAF. I did not know that this was scheduled to be on the History Channel Classroom or I would have copied it on the 2 hour speed. Instead I had it set for 6 hours and it would be a little better if I had set it on 2 hours. It was called: "Rockets - First Step to the Stars". The Ercoupe segment only lasted 48 seconds so it is short and sweet but I was very glad to get that much. I could put this on a Floppy disk if I knew how but I can barely e-mail so I used my Snappy and got 11 pictures from the 48 seconds. I am going to try and send them all at once and if it doesn't work I will try something else. Even though it is now called RATO for Rocket Assisted Take Off, It was 1st called JATO. kim N2523H NC
