George E. Merritt

This is a survey of the photographic methods and apparatus used to obtain detailed pictures of missiles in flight and of shockwaves and other phenomena of the medium through which such missiles pass, and to determine space-time coordinates of ballistic events. Special emphasis is placed on apparatus developed and used at the U.S. Naval Proving Ground.
