Where were the Bahamian base stations located?

Other Bahamian base stations were on Eleuthera, San Salvador and Mayaguana.

The “Range Rats,” as they referred to themselves, lived and worked at the tracking station.

Was Grand Bahama a military project?

The project wasn't the first international military operation that the U.S. government had been involved with on Grand Bahama. The first seaplanes to arrive on the island, and viewed with some amazement by the residents, came in June 1918 when the U.S. Marines were searching for German submarines.
