First Atomic Shell Test at Nevada Faces Wind Delays
An atomic shell test near Indian Springs AFB proceeded with 12 B-36 bombers and a Stinson plane crew within 15 miles of the target area. The blast lasted about eight seconds behind a treeline with 15 railroad cars and housing hidden nearby. Nine men of the 52nd Field Artillery Group loaded the weapon and retreated to a safe 10 mile distance as officials including Defense Secretary Wilson and Gen Collins observed. The surface winds caused cancellation of the planned drone phase.
