Anyone know any details on him? Dr. Farrell mentioned him to DJ one time. He said he had no SS# or was there any other record of him but had a extremely high secret clearance. I still have to do a deep Kindle search on his Covert series, Nazi International, Brotherhood of the Bell, and Roswell books to see if there is any mention of Leodding as well.
I found him mentioned here:
On January 22, 1948, a week after the Air Force was officially separated from the Army, Project Sign formally began its work. Sign was a branch of Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, under the direction of Captain Robert R. Sneider. Michael D. Swords writes:
The core personnel for the project were probably the most talented group to work on UFOs until the air force ended its investigation in 1969. Aiding chief officer, Capt. Robert R Sneider, were two outstanding aeronautical engineers, Alfred Loedding and Albert B. Deyarmond … Completing the group was nuclear and missile expert Lawrence Truettner … The quality of these people indicates the seriousness (and the comparative difference in later years) with which the air force considered the flying disk problem.
Notable were the facts that Leodding had worked extensively on disk-shaped and low-aspect aircraft designs for both the military and private companies and that he was also one of very few people in America with first-hand expertise in rocket engines.He was firmly convinced that a disc-shaped aircraft could fly, and he had designed several such models and prototypes.
