Operation Crossroads. Radioactive cargo removed remotely from drone B-17 following Able Test atomic explosion at Bikini Atoll

Airmen on the ground at Eniwitok Atoll (sometimes spelled Enewetak or Eniewetok), Marshall Islands, unload radioactive cargo from a drone B-17 aircraft, of the 509th Bombardment Group, that had flown through the cloud following the atomic Test Able explosion at Bikini Atoll, during Operation Crossroads. (The drone displays an atomic cloud Logo on its fuselage.) The airmen use an ingenious arrangement of cables to remotely position a container under the drone's bomb bay. Then using remote controls, they release cargo from the bomb bay into the container. They reposition the cables (running near the aircraft, to minimize personal exposure) and repeat the process with another container. A C-54 carrying the 509th Bombardment Group's Mushroom Cloud Logo, stands ready to transport the cargo.
