 Manhattan Engineer District

John Carleton Healey (Colonel, USAF) held many important posts with the Manhattan Engineer District.  Perhaps his most notable role as the personnel officer for the MED was the recruitment of the many thousands of specialized personnel that were needed for the successful completion of the Project.  See his complete biography under image #1 below - NOTE: All photos, documents, and information provided by his daughter, Sharon Healey Bartholomew.
