POSTERITY VIEWS THE TESTS. 



Inside a C-54 photographic 

 plane flying at high altitude, a 

 row of cameramen aim their 

 lenses at the Lagoon below. On 

 Able Day photographers in 

 some planes were vigorously 

 buffeted by the primary and 

 secondary shock waves, forceful 

 enough to knock down one pho- 

 tographer caught off balance. 

 BELOW. At Kwajalein a huge 

 photographic laboratory was 

 built, its atmosphere cooled and 

 dehumidified to prevent dam- 

 age to film. The bulk of the 

 photo-processing work was done 

 at the U. S. Naval Photographic 

 Science Laboratory at Anacos- 

 tia, D.C. In the entire operation 

 over 50,000 still films and mil- 

 lions of feet of movie film were 

 exposed.
