•Format: VHS Video

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.
Nuclear Air Power: Two named tests and a look at the Navy's use of tactical air nuclear weapons. Operations Castle and Greenhouse bring developments in nuclear weapons design and testing to 1957 and include dramatic video of an actual nuclear bomb air dropped by a B-36, sampling the radioactive cloud by fighter jets; and full details of the preparation and analysis. Some fo the most dramatic footage yet of the mushroom clouds.
