IT
that he had misread the instruments,
collected excellent samples.

Both the T-33 jet samplers

One experiment allowed the aircraft to

be pressurized during the cloud penetration,

Filtering systems in the

air intakes effectively excluded contamination?” At the close of these
missions, the T-33 samplers returned to Eglin Air Force Base,

JANGLE SUGAR.

Because of weather conditions, the JANGLE surface

test was postponed on the 15th, then the 16th, 17th, and 18th of
November 1951,

Finally, on 19 November 1951, the shot fired but since

the cloud was not expected to rise very high, only two B-29 samplers

were scheduled, One aircraft operated at about 13,000 feet, while the
other sampled the dust cloud between 1,000 to 2,000 feet altitude.

On

the first sampling pass at the lower cloud, the B-29 flew at 2,000 feet
and got a reading reflected from the bomb crater,

Seven minutes later

the aircraft made another pass at 1,000 feet altitude, some five miles
from the crater to be certain of a good sample,

The samples from both

B-29 aircraft were adequate,”

JANGEE UNCLE.

The underground shot, last of the test series,

occurred on 29 November 1951 and the sampling plan was the same as for
the surface shot,

The cloud rose initially to about 11,000 feet bat

drifted down toabout 9,500 feet,

The B-29 sampling the upper cloud

made seven penetrations to be sure of a usable sample, bat the cloud
moved around mountain peaks which complicated results,

Meantime, the

B-29 taking samples from the dust cloud made four penetrations before a
usable sample was obtained.
