OBJECT: To determine the practicability of disseminating insecticide DDT from aircraft with the standard British 500 lb. S.C.I. (Smoke Curtain Installation) tank. II. FACTUAL DATA: a. The equipment tested under this project was the standard British 500 lb, S.C.I. (Smoke Curtain Installation) bomb bay spray tank. The capacity of this tank is 25 Imperial or approximately 30 U. S, Salmons, The tank body has an overall length of 66 inches and is 13 Inches in diameter. The discharge pipe, which is located below the tank but forms a part thereof, is inches in diameter at the extreme outlet orifice and 3 inches in diameter at the point of junction with the tank. The air inlet pipe on top of the tank is 1 inch in diameter at the end and 2" in diameter at the point of junction with the bank. The contents of the tank are discharged by breaking the glass closure plates installed in the air inlet and outlet pipes by detonators fired by electric circuit connected to a switch in the cock- pit* The chemical filling flows from the tank by dynamic air pressure and gravity* The empty tank weighs approximately 125 pounds. Filled with DDT solution in #2 Diesel oil it weighs approximately 350 pounds. b. Standard U. S. 11-10 airplane smoke tanks were also used in the tests for purpose of comparison and evaluation with relation to results in disseminating DDT with the M-10 A.P.S.T, in AAF Board Project No. F-3486, entitled "Test to Determine the Host Practical Means of Disseminating Insecticide DDT from Aircraft." c. A-20G and A-26 aircraft were used in the tests. The British 500 lb, S.C.I. tank was modified for carrying on the wing racks of both types aircraft for the purpose of these tests* d* Insecticide DDT.- Pure DDT is a white crystalline substance, correctly named 2,2 - bis (p - chlorophenyl) 1.1.1, - trichlorethane. 2 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED e. 2jre.- Anthraquinone blue, AB base dye and DuPont oil red No. 5076 were used on this project. f. Solvent for DDT.- No. 2 diesel fuel oil was used as the solvent for DDT in 5% solution. On all tests with 10/o solution of DDT, 20,o W/v of Barrett's Heavy Solvent was used as an auxiliary solvent (Test No, 7 - Third Event excepted). g. For the purpose of these tests, and in the absence of appropriate British aircraft, for which the British 500 lb, S.C.I. was designed, subject tank was modified for carrying on the Viing racks of A-20G and A-26 aircraft. h. The tests under this project were conducted by AAF Tactical Center, Orlando, Florida, with the assistance of the Bureau of Ento- mology and Plant Quarantine of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Orlando, Florida, and the Chemical Warfare Service, Dugway Proving Ground Lobile Unit, Bushnell, Florida. Tests under Events I and II were performed on Lake Hart near Orlando, Florida. All other tests were performed at the Chemical Warfare Demonstration Range, AFTAC, Orlando, Florida, III. CONCLUSIONS; It is concluded that a. The British 500 lb, S.C.I. (Smoke Curtain Installation) tank is a satisfactory unit for disseminating insecticide DDT from aircraft* b. The capacity of subject tank is 25 Imperial or 30 U, S* gallons, c. The time of discharge, rate of flew and approximate length of spray pattern of a single British 500 lb. S.C.I* tank, filled with 25 Imperial or 30 U. S. gallons, of DDT solution in No. 2 Fuel Oil, discharged at an I.A.S. of 240 m.p.h. are as follows: British 5a) lb. S. C. I. Time of Discharge - 16 seconds Hate of flow - 1.375 gallons/second Approximate Length of Pattern - 1880 yards d. The use of solutions of DDT in subject tank gave far better results than five percent solutions. Five percent solutions of DDT are, however, more practical for use in the field in that no auxiliary solvents are required. Ten percent solutions of DDT require the use of auxiliary solvents which are, at the present time, not available in most theatres. 3 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED e. Based on the above tests, the optimum altitude of spraying with subject tank filled with %o solutions of DDT in crosswinds of moderate velocities (2 to 11 m.p.h.) appears to'be approximately 150 feet, Bith 10,B solutions of DDT satisfactory results were obtained by spraying from 50 to 300 feet in crosswinds of moderate velocity, f. The exact effective length of the pattern produced by a single British 500 lb. S.C.I. is not known on a basis of observed insect kill. Based on time of discharge and speed of aircraft, it is estimated to be approximately 1880 yards, g. The average effective width of the pattern produced under optimum conditions by the British 500 lb. S.C.I, was approximately 200 yards. Based on this pattern width and the estimated length of 1880 yards, a single British 500 lb, S.C.I. should, at normal operating speeds of approximately 200 m.p.h,, cover approximately 78 acres and effect a distribution of about 1,5 quarts per acre. IV. RECOllEhDATICNS: It is recommended that: a. For dissemination of solutions of DDT with the British S.C.I,, the contents be released at an approximate altitude of 150 feet in crosswinds of moderate velocities (2 to 12 m.p.h.) at normal operating speeds. b. The distance between lines of flight for continuous treat- ment of an area by successive flights be not more than 200 yards and preferably about 175 yards. V. DISCUSSION: a., Methods of Testing,- (l) First invent.- This test was conducted by spraying parallel patterns on the surface of a lake from both the British S.C.I. and the U.S. lilO tanks for the purpose of obtaining a comparison of the patterns of spray from the two tanks. Spraying was done from an altitude of 25 feet at an I.A.S. of 240 m.p.h. Although this procedure was repeated five times, no photo- graphs were obtained that could be considered satisfactory for evaluation. For this reason, the pattern length was approximated from the time of discharge of the tank. The estimated length of the patterns of the tanks are as follows: British S.C.I. 1800 yards U, S, 110 600 yards NOTE: At the time the above tests were being conducted, the mosquito population was inadequate to permit actual spray runs to determine RESTRICTED RESTRICTED effective pattern length and facilities were not available to perndt use of entomological sample stations over the entire length of the spray pattern, (2) Second Event.- This test was conducted by spraying parallel patterns on the surface a lake from both the British S.C.I. and U. S, 110 tanks. Spraying was done at an altitude of 200 feet at an I.A.S, of 240 rn.p.h. No photographs were obtained that were satis- factory for the purpose of evaluation, (3) Third Event.— This test was conducted using mosouito larvae and flies. A range was laid out with parallel lines of stations, the lines being 200 yards apart. All stations on each line were fifty yards apart. At each station on line A was placed a container of mosquito larvae to determine percentage of kill; a petrie dish to obtain a deposit for subsequent laboratory testing for data on fly kill; a microscopic slide coated with magnesium oxide to obtain data on droplet size; and a round white enameled plate to obtain data on density of spray. In addition to the above, at each station on line 3 was placed a cage containing live flies, (See Incl. 5 and Photographs Nos, 5, 6 and 7, Incl, 6), Leteorological equipment was set up to determine temperature, wind velocity, wind direction and relative humidity. (See Photograph 5* Incl. The flight path in all cases was cross- wind, approximately 90 to the two lines of stations.

AFRBD-lr 6 July 1944 SUBJECT: Conductance of D.D.T. Tests for the British Air Commission TO; President, Army Air Forces Board Orlando, Florida 1. The British Air Commission has requested this Headquarters to authorize the AAF Board to conduct limited tests to determine, in con- junction with project (H-5)212, the most practical means of disseminating insecticides D.D.T. from aircraft using standard British equipment. 2. The British Air Commission is in a position to furnish without delay six 500 lb. S.C.I.'s, type S/G and a quantity of fifty each inlet and outlet discs and detonators. Also, if required, they may be able to furnish a Vengeance airplane (A-35B) fitted with British Universal bomb racks to take the 500 lb. S.C.I.’s. 3. It is requested that the AAF Board conduct such tests as nec- essary to determine the practicability of employing British standard aircraft and equipment as means of disseminating insecticide D.D.T, for area insect control. Those tests which require depot modification of equipment will not be undertaken, 4. Coordinating details may be handled between the R.A.F, liaison officer, AFTAG and W/C R.
