Albert Paddock Crary (1911-1987), polar geophysicist later famous as the first person to stand at both poles. As Project Mogul's Field Operations Director he ran the 1947 New Mexico balloon flights; his summer-1947 journal is a primary record of them.

  • This map says
    Field Operations Director; his summer-1947 journal is a primary record of the balloon flights
    The document says
    Additionally, a copy of a professional journal maintained at the time by A.P. Crary, provided to the Air Force by his widow, showed that Flight 4 was launched on June 4, 1947, but was not recovered by the NYU group.

    rendered and read by eye — the grade this project quotes from
    Caveat THE TITLE IS NOT IN THIS DOCUMENT. Printed 26 says "An advance ground team, led by Albert P. Crary"; McAndrew's introduction at printed 2 calls him "a civilian Air Force scientist". Neither says "Field Operations Director". The relation was reworded to the role the pages actually give him, and the journal - which is the load-bearing half - is stated precisely.
  • Watson Laboratories not bound, on purpose
    The claim we tested
    ran Mogul field operations out of Watson Laboratories
    What the document actually says
    An advance ground team, led by Albert P. Crary, preceded the NYU group to Alamogordo Army Air Field, New Mexico, setting up ground sensors and obtaining facilities for the NYU group.

    Why we refused it. THE DOCUMENT PUTS CRARY AT ALAMOGORDO, NOT AT WATSON LABS. It never connects him to Watson Laboratories at all. Shared membership in Project Mogul is not a connection between the two, and treating it as one is the exact failure section 8 was written about. Not bound.
  • James Peoples not bound, on purpose
    The claim we tested
    Crary served as field-ops director assisting Peoples
    What the document actually says
    - no sentence in this document connects Crary to Peoples. Both are named in the same list at printed 2, one after the other, and nowhere else together.

    Why we refused it. ADJACENCY IN A LIST IS NOT A WORKING RELATIONSHIP. Two names in the same roster, in consecutive clauses, is precisely the shape that looks like a source and is not one. Not bound.

Generated from the record, not written by hand. Every change keeps what the map used to say, because a correction nobody can see is indistinguishable from never having been wrong.

Albert P. Crary → Project Mogul
