Peter Stephen Barna, Professor Emeritus, served ODU from 1966-1977 as professor in the School of Engineering where he developed laboratories for the growing Engineering program, built the wind tunnel, and conducted research in aerodynamics and mechanical engineering. He was also a NASA consultant. Barna was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1912 and died April 14, 2006. The interview discusses Barna's involvement with the growing Engineering program and his life before ODU: in Hungary, his move to Australia, his service in World War II, his involvement in various projects (air conditioning, heat transfer, wind tunnels, aerodynamics) and inventions (bullet-proof radiator), his impressions of racial unrest in 1963 Alabama, and his impressions of American vs. Australian teaching methods. Interview recorded on two cassette tapes, three sides. Good audio quality.
