Sweeney almost ran out of fuel!He made a "forced"landing on Okinawa.The cloud-cover was such that he found it very difficult to find a "target of opportunity"!!
Thanks for mentioning that picture. I found one like it here... http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Tests/Ht1juniper1.jpg
I've never seen a picture like that before.
