This book documents the history of the extensive aerial spraying operation launched to control a spruce budworm infestation in Oregon and Washington over seven years from 1949 - 1955. By region, this was the first major outbreak of the spruce budworm in Western America, with the first minor infestations recorded only in 1944. Delving into the technicalities of the crisis, the author presents detailed accounts of the aerial spraying program, from selecting safe and efficient insecticides to the challenges and techniques of large-scale aerial application. The author also emphasizes the collaboration between private landowners, state agencies, and the US Forest Service to find the most effective, cost-efficient methods to protect public and privately-owned forests infested with the devastating spruce budworm. Rich with data, this book offers a thorough scientific and historical account of this ecological event.
