DogOnPorch Posted October 13, 2022 Author Report Posted October 13, 2022 Redwing Flathead 365 kilotons, June 11th, 1956 This was the test of the T-28S 'salted' bomb...an intentionally dirty version of the B28 tactical free-fall device. The B28 was the device that was used to equip Canadian F-104 squadrons in Germany during the Cold War. The idea was to have a small H-Bomb in a crash/impact survivable container so one could 'lay down' the nuke at low altitude from a speeding aircraft and still escape. The detonation was delayed, of course... Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
