Proof of a Fourier pair with Bessel functions?

how can we prove that the Fourier transform of the function

(a^2-x^2)^(c/2) * BesselJ[c,b*Sqrt[a^2-x^2]] for x^2 < a^2 (and 0 elsewhere)

is

Sqrt[2Pia] * (a^c) * (b^c) * (b^2+y^2)^(-c/2-1/4) * BesselJ[c+1/2,aSqrt[b^2+y^2]]

This Fourier transform pair is given in the book

Formeln und Satze fur die speziellen Funktionen der mathematischer Physik

(Julius Springer, Berlin, 1943) p. 119.

Numerically computation suggests this is correct.

I need this formula for c=1.

Thanks for any help
