Talk:Robert Lochner (engineer)

Wrong Bombardons!
The article is misleading when it transitions from the first bombardons designed by Lochner (inflatable tubes) to those that were actually used at the landing beaches (cruciform steel structures). They were different animals altogether, although Lochner seems to have designed the latter as well. See the paragraph by Comdr. Alfred Stanford in his book, Force Mulberry, p71. (Stanford was Deputy Commander of Mulberry A and thus in an excellent position to know; an eyewitness to the actual cruciform type under his command at Utah Beach.)
