[[underlined]]7th March 45[[underlined]] [[underlined]]OR.[[/underlined]] Conference at HQ AF Board with Mr. L.A. Doff- My impression was that work is very slow there - Apparently little or no attempt to get help of outside agencies except AFTAC- Col. Henry came in later and we had lunch together. Afternoon talked mainly with Col. Henry- also Col.Mornier, exec. Met. Gen. Strickland- Pres. of the board. Mornier is definitely fighter pilot. Believes will be very difficult to teach fifteen to fly instruments partly because of inherent instability of heavily loaded fighter A/C- He has done a little analysis of his own reactions- States he feels perfectly safe in two seater (B-25) because he knows a second pair of eyes is watching him + the instruments but not so in fighter. No one there to tell him a wing is down- "All-Weather" project is divided into several phases- 1. Take off- operate- land a single bomber entirely on instruments- (Done) 2. Same for fighter (Working) 3. Multiple bomber (Not started) 4. '' fighter (Not '')
