Atomic detonations.
(2) It is recommended that the principal record of an
Atomic detonation be obtained from an aircraft vertically
above the detonation, ut~zing
full variety of cameras
to secure high-speed as well as large image coverage in
both color and black and white, whether the aircraft be
an FP-/?Oor some other high altitude high-speed aircraft

to this recommendation. It is believed
that the vertical coverage should be supplementedby
aircraft orbiting about the point of detonation at medium
altitudes and moderate distance. There again, the coverage should be both high-speed and large image in color,
and black and white.
(3) It is recommendedthat Drone aircraft be used from
which to secure photography of atomic detonations.
(4) A huh-speed camera should be developed that fl

approximately10,000 frames per second, have a good
