Photographing the Start of the Cold War:Illustrated Operation Plan for Photographing the First Two Atomic Bomb Tests after WWIIA remarkable and very rare "restricted" Operation Plan manual for photographing the first two post-WWII atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in July 1946. Prior the July 1946 only three atomic bombs had been detonated: at the Trinity Site in the Jornada del Muerto desert of New Mexico, and above the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The present example bears the ownership inscription of Lt. Eduardo P. Brown (1916-2006), a Navy photographer assigned to Joint Task Force One. Born in Cuba, raised in Chula Vista, California, Lt. Brown attended Naval School of Photography at Pensacola. Mount Brown and Brown's Glacier in Antarctica were named for him based on his photographic work during the U.S. Navy's Operation Highjump expedition in 1946-1947.Joint Task Force One was created to plan and execute Operation Crossroads, the July 1946 atomic bomb tests (ABLE and BAKER) conducted at Bikini Atoll. The tests were conducted by joint Army-Navy personnel, including the participation of Manhattan Project staff. Indeed, the text of the present Operation Plan includes several references to "Los Alamos Group" staff (e.g. "film from Los Alamos installed cameras will be developed as directed by Los Alamos"). A laid in sheet of handwritten notes, presumably by Lt. Brown, mentions special handling of film from "Bowen High Speed Camera . film will be classified secret and Manhattan District will be responsible for distribution." With similar treatment mentioned for "photos taken by O'Brien Drum Streak Cameras on Aomoen Is."Both still and motion pictures were taken from the air and on the ground by specially trained Navy and Army photographers. Vice Admiral W.H.P. Blandy commanded Joint Task Force One. Capt. R. S. Quackenbush served as officer in charge of the Photographic Organization.Two bombs were dropped at Bikini Atoll: on 1 July 1946 (the Able test, detonated in the air) and 25 July 1946 (the Baker test, detonated underwater). The primary purpose of the exercise was to test the effects of atomic bomb blasts on naval vessels - one of the folding tables lists the target ships, type of camera and film used, etc. The actual atomic blasts and the aftermath were documented by an extensive specialized staff of military photographers from the U.S. Army Photographic Signal Corps and the Navy, along with civilian journalists and technicians. Key individuals included LIFE magazine photographer Fritz Goro, and Major Perry M. Thomas, who managed engineering and aerial photography.The present "Photographic Plan (Annex L)" served as a restricted manual providing extensive instructions for the unprecedented photographic project of recording atomic blasts via both motion picture and still photography. It includes maps of the areas to be photographed, photographic plates showing equipment to be used, lists of cameras and specialized equipment, instructions on classifying and transporting the exposed film, a chart of the "Photographic Organization" staff, and the like.
