America's Atomic Bomb Tests: Upshot-Knothole, Volume 10!
•Series Title: America's Atomic Bomb Tests
•Name: Upshot-Knothole
•Volume 10
•1998 Atwood Keeney Productions, Inc.
•Format: VHS Video
•Running Time: 55 Minutes
•Includes: Cardboard Slipcase
•Condition: New in Factory Sealed Plastic
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 only way to find answers was to detonate bombs, and these tapes chronicle the results. All-in-all, they represent the fundamental knowledge America gained about the effects of nuclear bombs.
Upshot-Knothole: Operation Upshot-Knothole consisted of 11 atmospheric detonations and included some unusual, one-of-a-kind events-the only firing of Atomic Annie, the nuclear cannon; a study of the blast effects on a B-50 bomber inflight: and the participation of 21,000 military troops during Exercise Desert Rock V.
