    American scientist Frank Wattendorf, right, speaks with Arnold Research Organization President Bob Williams during a visit to the Arnold Engineering Development Center in September 1974. Wattendorf is considered one of the founding fathers of AEDC. His Trans-Atlantic Memo, written following a 1945 survey of captured German test facilities with other members of the Scientific Advisory Group, was the first recommendation of a facility such as AEDC.
