Description
[OPERATION REDWING - CHEROKEE TEST]. Photograph of the Redwing Cherokee detonation, May 20, 1956 (but printed 2009)

Visible area 18 1/2 x 23 in. on Harman fiber paper. Matted and framed (not examined out of frame, overall dimensions overall: 25 1/4 x 30 1/2 in.).

Operation Redwing comprised a series of 17 nuclear tests conducted by the United States from 4 May - 21 July 1956. The Cherokee test was conducted on May 20 and was the first thermonuclear device delivered by plane. Due to a navigation error the bomb was released four miles away from its original drop point, resulting in military personnel originally positioned with their backs to the blast instead facing it head on.
