Continental atomic tests Nevada, United States. Air Force C-54 aircraft in flight. Air Force Flight Surgeons wear masks and observe the atomic bomb explosion from an aircraft to test its effect on a pilot's vision. They immediately test their vision, while aboard the airplane, following the atomic blast. A truck drags a P-47 airplane. B-17s, P-47s, and newer aircraft are stationed at different angles. Atomic explosion tesst the effect of this explosion on the aircraft. High-speed cameras record effects of atomic blast. Elevator on tail of a B-17 in flames. Afterwards, technicians examine the damage on the various aircraft. Views of damaged aircraft after explosion on ground. USAF B-57B aircraft in flight. B-47 takes off with JATO.

Secret atomic bomb research and tests by United States Atomic Energy Commission, in Nevada, during the Cold War. A group of scientists aboard an aircraft performs secret research about atomic bomb explosions. The scientists put on gas masks and goggles for eye protection, and work with analysis and measurement equipment aboard the airplane. An atomic bomb explosion is seen below and the plane passes above near the atomic mushroom as volunteers test their eye protection. On the ground, cameras in the blast wave record damage incurred to parked airplanes on the ground by the force of the explosion blast wave. An airplane tail section burns while it traverses the explosion cloud. A giant Boeing B-50 Superfortress bomber codenamed Rosebud is seen on an atomic bombing run in an actual atomic test. The pilot and bombardier are shown in the plane, the target sight is seen on the ground, and the atomic blast is seen from the B-50 flying overhead. Massive explosion and mushroom cloud seen forming. The atomic cloud rises up in sky.
