Despite its role ending World War II, little was actually known about the true power of a nuclear weapon. Scientists and military planners needed precise data. How big was the blast ring? How powerful was the shock wave? How big of a blast could an aircraft carrier sustain? What altitude of detonation gave the most devastating blast?
The Early Tests: Operation Trinity and Crossroads. Two of our nation's most historic tests are included in this edition. Trinity and Crossroads. With Trinity, the world ushered in the atomic age itself and these scenes provide historians with new, behind-the-scenes material from the New Mexico tests. Then came Crossroads, the awesome test on Bikini atoll that subjected almost fifty battleships, subs, carriers and tenders to the full force of an air-dropped bomb. You will see the entire test-from laying ships out in anchorage, through the detonations, to the damage inspection crews.
