James Johnson Collection - China Lake

"In 1944 and 45 I was employed as an ordinance-man at the Naval Ordinance Test Station at China Lake, California.  In 1945 Los Alamos didn’t have a firing site capable of firing a full scale Fat Man with dummy pit.  In fact, the only large firing site at old Anchor Ranch could barely handle one lens, so they came to the Navy and asked us to build some firing sites."  See biography below!
