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.
