volunteers in the New York State
Civil Defense drill and Effectiveness
Evaluation, held
last weekend. Working in various
capacities, the cadets and
senior members were observed

out by Civil Air Patrol were
aerial photography, radiological

transporting supplies
and reporting on traffic.

a malfunction which caused
the inadvertent launch of four
armed nuclear missiles, all of
which impacted and detonated
within borders of New York State.
To meet the disaster, the Governor
proclaimed the State a
disaster area and called upon the
Civil Air Patrol to mobilize its
resources to determine the extent
of damage.

served as Sector Commander;
Major Irving Friedman, Mission
Commander; Captain
Thomas Coyle, Security Officer;
