Operation Crossroads. Air sample equipment removed from B-17 drone aircraft of the 509th Bombardment Group.

B-17 drone aircraft of the 509th Bombardment Group (bearing mushroom cloud Logo) is parked on pierced steel plank ramp, at Eniwetok (sometimes spelled Enewetak or Eniewetok), Marshall Islands, during Operation Crossroads atomic tests. Airmen remove air sampling instruments from the aircraft that was exposed to the cloud during the Able Atomic Test explosion. They place them on a truck for analysis. One airman carries a cage full of birds, from the aircraft.

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.

Operation Crossroads. Ground crews exercise caution offloading radioactive cargo from drone B-17s after Test Able explosion

Activities following the Test Able atomic explosion at Bikini Atoll during Operation Crossroads. Ground crewman unseals a cable from fuselage and uses it to pull and air sampler box off the top of a B-17 drone aircraft. He avoids being hit by it as it tumbles from atop the airplane. He then drags it to a spot on the ramp, where a man with a geiger counter checks it for radioactivity. Two men transport it on a long pole, to a fork lift. Several other B-17 drones are seen with ground crews offloading them remotely, by means of cables and remote activation of controls inside the B-17 bomb bays. A forklift operator loads an item into the rear hatch of a waiting C-54 transport aircraft.
