Description/Abstract:
The official reports of Operation Crossroads emphasize the joint nature of the enterprise. The two tests of this operation were carried out at Bikini by the united efforts of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, and many of their component parts. The intent of this chapter is to describe, primarily, the part played by the Manhattan District and by its personnel in the conduct of the tests, and in numerous activities which preceded and accompanied them.
