EDUCATED CABBAGE. A drone plane flying di- 

 rectly overhead just as the Baker bomb water 

 column reached its greatest height recorded this 

 interesting view of the cauliflower. Appearance 

 of the condensation cloud suggests that this pic- 

 ture was made but a few instants after the view on 

 the preceding page. OPPOSITE. This oblique shot 

 of the Baker burst again emphasizes the height of 



the cauliflower, size of which should be compared 

 with the single ship of the target array visible just 

 inside the expanding shock wave. Taking into ac- 

 count the amount of research development work 

 which this single photograph represents, Mark 

 Twain's definition of cauliflower as "a cabbage with 

 a college education" is in point. This photograph 

 was made from an altitude of over 1 0,000 feet.
