Crew Calls Dropping
Of A-Bomb "Routine"
Albuquerque, N. M. (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.
