   08 Conception took place during preparation and shortly   
    after application   
   09 which resulted in United States Patent Number 4066226,   
    which, when   
   10 constructed as envisioned by the inventor, results in   
    an aircraft   
   11 or spacecraft which is, without any modification,   
    extremely effective   
   12 in avoiding electronic detection, so much so, that it   
    would be a very   
   13 considerable danger to allow it to operate in   
    controlled airspace.   
   14 The basic concept of the system simply deduces   
    that if all reflected   
   15 electromagnetic radiation is focused or directed   
    into as small a   
   16 return beam as possible, it would be extremely   
    likely that that beam   
   17 would be reflected in a direction other than back   
    to the receiving   
   18 antenna of the detection system. Claims will be   
    confined to specifics   
   19 furnished to the United States in paper No. 11,   
    U. S. Patent Number   
   20 4066226 , Airfoil, Reduced Profile, 'Y' Flow, hybrid,   
    and to refined   
   21 theoretical configurations which while more effective,   
    might not be   
   22 practical or economical to construct, and also to   
    configurations   
   23 which were not mentioned but which might not be   
    know in the present   
   24 state of the art but which complete all of the possible   
    configurations   
   25 which are effective in electronic avoidance.

    Note: By this time the application cover sheet   
   had been marked "DO NOT SEND TO ISSUE,   
   First to Licensing an d Review DOE   
    Part of the line after "ISSUE" is blacked out,   
   and part missing or whited out.   
      
      
    Page Two, Application 972527 - Continued   
      
   01 This concept is more effective when the radar is   
    the type normally   
   02 used as combat radar. Larger radar such as   
    used for some space   
   03 projects, might or might not be effective in   
    detecting some or all   
   04 of the mentioned configurations.   
      
   05 Considering the simplicity of the concept, after   
    conception, prior art   
   06 seemed a certainty, but then again, the massive   
    losses in Vietnam   
   07 and the loss of life and suffering in imprisonment   
    of fine American   
   08 men during the conflict and in the bombing of   
    Hanoi in December of   
   09 1972, suggests that the state of the art was not   
    too advanced.   
   10 It is the primary object of this invention to provide   
    a simple but   
   11 effective means to construct vehicles, craft, vessels,   
    aircraft,   
   12 spacecraft, rockets, re-entry vehicles, and other   
    land craft and   
   13 objects in such a manner that they will be nearly   
    or completely   
   14 invisible to radar or other means of electronic   
    detection.   
   15 It's use is meant to be exclusively military in nature   
    and has no   
   16 purpose in public, commercial or civilian activities   
    of any kind.   
   17 There are no further objects of this invention.   
      
      
    Note: By this time, after one or two office actions,   
   the Washington patent attorney had read the application   
   and when I called him, he said, "this is pretty important   
   art you have", and I was hesitant in saying anything   
   technical about the invention over the phone, and   
   then he said, "just what is it you want to protect?".   
    That floored me, and I wondered how I could   
   have written 3 or 4 pages in the specification and   
   he didn't know what I wanted to protect.   
    He then asked if I could come to Washington   
   to discuss the modifications to the specification,   
   and I said I would have to think about it.   
      
    I was short of money, had a job, had two kids   
   in college, and did not feel like making a trip, and   
   feared running up a bill with the law firm and the   
   possibility that I would have had to give them   
   part of the invention if I couldn't pay the bill, so   
   I began thinking of how to file a "continuation-in-   
   part application, rather than try to salvage the   
   apparently less than adequate application 972527.
