U.S. Marines and amphibious landings on Iwo Jima in World War II.

(Opening slate identifies D+4, and then a corrected slate says D+5.) U.S. marines amphibious landing activities on Iwo Jima during World War 2. Marines silhouetted against bright sky, while standing inside a Landing Ship Tank (LST) as the front ramp is lowered. An M4A3 Sherman medium tank, equipped with raised exhaust and air intakes (a wading tank), is exiting the ship. Scene shifts to views from onshore, of Landing Ships Tank (LSTs) 477 and 808, beached, on the sand. A Landing Craft Tank (LCT-1243) is on the deck of LST 808. Several M4A3 wading tanks of the 3rd Marine Tank Battalion are seen leaving LST 477. Exhaust fumes are visible from their raised ducts. Third Marine Division infantry, on the deck of LST 477, watch the tanks offloading. (Note, regarding the date. Accordng to the Navy Department Library, the 3rd Marine Division joined the Iwo Jima fighting on the fifth day of the battle. So the unloading operations, from LSTs, 477 and 808, seen in this film, could be taking place on D+5.)

U.S. Nuclear test "Cherokee" in Operation Redwing, off Namu Island, Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands.

First air drop test of a thermonuclear weapon. The weapon was dropped from a USAF B-52 bomber (not seen) that flew from Fred Island, Eniwetak (sometimes spelled Enewetak or Eniewetok), on May 21, 1956. View appears to be from an aircraft flying above altocumulus clouds, below higher stratiform layers. The film begins with a complete whiteout from the initial fireball. As that subsides, local stratiform clouds take on a rosy hue and the center fireball is seen rising above them. As the fireball rises, it takes on a somewhat hemispherical shape, flat on the bottom, from which a straight stem-like column extends toward the ground. The light of the explosion slowly fades and complete darkness ensues. Official accounts state that the intended ground zero was directly over Namu Island, but the flight crew mistook an observation facility on a different island for their targeting beacon with the result that the weapon delivery was grossly in error. The bomb detonated some 4 miles off target over the ocean northeast of Namu. As a result essentially all of the weapons effects data was lost. ( Note: According to ancillary reports, the delivery error resulted in blast overpressures and thermal effects on the 6 structural response targets between Iroij and Namu Islands, greatly exceeding specifications for any use in scientific military modeling of high yield aerial detonations. Plans for graded damages analysis failed when all the structures collapsed. Effects cameras also failed from the intense fireball heat.)
