I have been assisted by many people along the way. Kenneth E. Zaremba, now man- agement analyst at the Glenn Research Center, first had the idea for a book on icing research and persuaded NASA Headquarters to support the project. Susan L. Kevdzija, IRT facility manager and enthusiastic supporter from the beginning, hosted my first visit to Glenn and opened many doors for me. William P. Sexton conducted a tour of the icing tunnel and shared with me his deep affection for the facility. Robert F. Ide kindly allowed me to observe the operation of the tunnel during a calibration run. Kevin P. Coleman, history coordinator at Glenn, looked after my care and feeding during visits to the laboratory, and I am grateful to him. Laura M. Bagnell and Mary E. Carson of the Imaging Technology Center opened to me the rich photographic collec- tion at Glenn. During a visit to the NASA History Office in Washington, Jane H. Odom facilitated my access to icing records and made my brief stay in the office a most pleas- ant one. Also at Headquarters, NASA chief historian Roger D. Launius extended his full support to the project, and I am grateful to him. Edmund Preston, historian at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and an old friend, always promptly responded to my requests for FAA material. Another old friend, Michael H. Gorn, took time during a personal tragedy to send me a draft of his now published study of flight research at the NACA and NASA. H. Garland Gouger and Erik Conway made my visit to the archives at the Langley Research Center a most rewarding experience. Bonita S. Smith, InDyne, Inc., employee and archivist/historian at the Glenn Center, has been my strong right arm throughout the research for this book. An accomplished archivist, she has searched for documents, located obscure technical reports, arranged inter- views, located retired employees, and cheerfully responded to a thousand and one requests. Without her assistance, this study would have taken far longer—and might never have been finished. I cannot thank her enough. Thanks are also due to the professionals at NASA Headquarters who made this book physically possible. In the NASA History Office, Louise Alstork edited the manuscript and prepared the index. In the Printing and Design Office, Joel Vendette and Steve Oberti expertly laid out the book, Michelle Cheston carefully edited it, and David Dixon handled the printing. My sincere appreciation goes out to all these people. The many individuals who submitted to interviews, wrote letters and e-mails, pro- vided material from their personal files, and generally contributed substantially to making their study possible are listed in the Essay on Sources. While I am grateful to all of them, I should note that John J. Reinmann took a special interest in the project and spent a great deal of time attempting to educate me on the nature of icing research. As I managed to avoid physics and chemistry in high school, this was no small task. In writing this book, my fondest hope is that I have done justice to the efforts of the many men and women who have devoted a substantial portion of their lives to defeating the menace of icing and making the skies safer for us all.
