So when I first joined the group I told you I have a letter from my great great uncle about the testing. Well without further a due.

Crossroads-Able was a weapons effects test. The bomb was dropped from an operational B-29 assigned to an operational Bomb Wing by an operational crew. They missed the the target, the USS Nevada painted orange, by over a mile.

Crossroads Able was a bust.

It is interesting to read something from someone who was actually there.

The government was going for the big blast. Even the scientists that built the bomb did not realize the extent of radiation poisoning and that it may be more dangerous than the blast itself. -Lloyd BEERCHUG1
