About This Item
This is an album of the story of Electronics in Operation Crossroads, which was the detonation of the atomic bomb around Bikini Island, in the South Pacific in 1946. Photographs of men, equipment and landscapes at the time of, what was called "the greatest peacetime experiment in the history of mankind". Several photographs of the blasts, including their aftermath. Full roster of various crews, led by Vice Admiral W H P Blandy, Jr, USN. There is a signature on the front page, presumably that of the original owner: "R W Ellison, 3-21-46, Pearl Harbor". The book is damaged; it has pulled away from the spine on the inside front. There is no flyleaf. The end papers are a 2 page map of the South Pacific showing the location of Bikini Island. The cover is scuffed and weathered, but everything is intact. I've never seen another copy offered.
