A secret facility set up in the wake of the second world war to develop rocket engines, the RPE's most famous project was the British medium-range ballistic missile known as Blue Streak, although the project was eventually abandoned.
The original model was the Manhattan Project, undertaken during the Second World War to develop an atomic weapon in the United States.
Out of bounds, out of place, out of time and 90 miles from Salt Lake City, it is surely the most bizarre feature of Dugway Proving Ground, a test site created by the Allied military during the second world war to develop weapons of mass destruction for use against civilian targets in Germany and Japan.
And the Kaled Scientific Elite is clearly meant to evoke crash efforts during the Second World War to develop rocketry, on one side, and atomic weapons, on the other.
Yet without such careful inquiry it is not possible to plan effectively the great extension of the movement that is desirable after the War or to develop the necessary variety of methods.
His grandfather was James Franck, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and member of the Manhattan Project; his father, Arthur von Hippel, left Germany in 1934 and went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he helped with the war effort to develop radar.
This encourages children studying the war to question what happened and to develop their own opinions.
"Schwinger takes the techniques that he helped develop during the war to communicate with the radio engineers and brings them back into the heart of physics," said Dr. Galison.
Drawing on Flint's archives, which are housed in the Manuscript and Archives Department at the Yale University Library, the exhibit demonstrates the careful planning that went into organizing, deploying, and operating the mobile hospital unit, which was a relatively new concept that the French had developed during the war to provide medical care to wounded soldiers more rapidly.
