The procedures and results of extensive pre and postshot aerial photographic coverage by naval aircraft are described and evaluated. Objectives were to use high performance photo aircraft to document pre and post shot ground zero area conditions to provide aerial photographs for immediate onsite use in operations and to determine the unique advantages, if any, of this type of photographic coverage. One preshot and three postshot photo missions were run over the ground zero area by flights of two supersonic F8U-1P (Crusader) jet aircraft of the Pacific Fleet. During each mission, black and white, infra- red and color films were ex- posed. Missions were initially limited to coverage of the immediate crater area but later expanded in area to include the extensive up-wind and cross-wind base surge deposition area.
