Most of the pilots were scientists-chiefly meteorologists, electronics engineers, aerodynamicists-who devoted their spare time and their rainy hours to such pursuits as lectures by Geophysicist Joachim Kuettner on "A New Investigation of Stratospheric and Tropospheric Airflow in Powerful Mountain Waves," or "Research on the Transport of Freezing Nuclei and on Atmospheric Turbulence by Means of a Sailplane...

High above the earth's atmosphere, 6,000 to 11,000 miles above its surface, whirls a great ring of invisible gas. This is the belief of Geophysicist Sydney Chapman, formerly of Oxford. He cannot prove conclusively that the ring is there, but strong theoretical reasons have convinced him that it exists...
...Geophysicist K. M. Creer of Cambridge University believes that he has proved it by measuring the magnetism of ancient rocks. Both volcanic and sedimentary rocks, as they are formed, tend to become magnetized by the earth's magnetic field. Their magnetism, though very feeble, is parallel to the magnetic field that formed it, pointing like a compass needle toward the magnetic pole...
