Operation Upshot-Knothole. Project 5.1. Atomic Weapon Effects on AD Type Aircraft in Flight
Abstract
Project 5.1 was established for the specific purpose of obtaining flight test data and information which can be used in defining those regions in space which are unsafe for Model AD type naval aircraft following the delivery of an atomic air burst weapon. Much of the flight test information gathered, however, was to be generally applicable to the study of weapon effects on aircraft in the vicinity of an atomic weapon explosion.
