In 1945, the U.S. Army brought the captured German V-2 rocket program to Luther Forest in Malta so that scientists and engineers from the Schenectady General Electric facility could recreate the facilities that the Germans had built at Peene-munde. From 1945 to the early 60's, over 5,000 static tests of rocket motors, fuels and nose cone materials were conducted in Malta and then sent on to other sites for in-flight tests. Perreault is a retired school adminis-trator, having held many positions with local schools.
