Flipt 7: Released trom .Alamogordo, New Mexico, 0509 MST, July 2, 1947
Descended at Cloudcroft, Hew Mexico
Using a cluster array (Figure 3} of 13 350~gram rubber balloons and
tour larger lifting balloons, a 53-pound load was carried alott on this flight.
At 35,000 teet. the desired floating level, the lifter balloons were cut tree.
