Air Force tests new non bombing technique at Fort Sill
More than 1,000 spectators and Fort Sill personnel braved Saturday weather to see a new Air Force delivery method demonstrated at the Artillery and Guided Missile Center. The simulated atomic bomb was released from a TH Thunderstreak aircraft in a preplanned trajectory, with a phosphorus shell simulating the burst as artillery pieces including 1050 and 153mm howitzers and twin 40mm anti aircraft guns fired in support of infantry. A sonic boom was not produced due to weather.
