(U.R) Crew members of the B-50 "fly ing laboratory" which dropped the A-bomb used In Tuesday's test at the Nevada Proving j Grounds said Saturday the blast "tossed the plane about a bit." The Air Force, which arranged an interview with the plane's crew members, said that the crew regarded the operation as a routine event. Bombardier Not Nervous , Capt. George L. Trimble Jr.; Adairsville, Ga., the bombardier, said he was not "particularly" nervous when the bomb dropped, although the success of the test depended upon his accuracy. Trimble, who operated a Norden bomb sight and released the bomb, said he was too preoccu pied to be nervous. Capt. Otis R. Hill, Omaha, Neb., special equipment opera tor, said the crew members saw the explosion very plainly as it exploded behind their B-50 at the testing grounds near Las Vegas. Crew's Accuracy Praised Maj. Gen. John S. Mills, com manding general of the Air Force special weapons center at Kirtland Air Force Base here, praised the accuracy of the plane's crew members. He said that although troops were within 3'2 miles of ground zero from the-bomb blast, the bomb still must be regarded as a weapon of "almost lnconceiv able destruction." None of the troops were exposed, he pointed out. "I think that any tendency to minimize the effect of this weap on ,. . would be calamitous for our people," Mills said. , Col. Osmand J. Ritland said it was the 12th nuclear device dropped by Air Force planes from the Kirtland base. Fam ilies of the plane's crew mem bers were not aware, he said, that they were on the mission.
