Summary edit

Description 330-PS-3256 (45895 AC): Volunteer Air Force observers looked through specifically designed and coated windows of a USAF transport type aircraft at atomic bursts to determine such blinding effects on the human eye. Observers such as these gathered much scientific data during the Atomic Energy Commission tests held at the Nevada Proving Grounds in 1952. Shown in foreground are flash-blindness recorders, which were devised to furnish information on visual acuity and other related medical effects, as induced by watching the initial, intense light emitted during an atomic detonation, March 16, 1953.
