Operation Buster-Jangle was a series of seven six atmospheric one cratering nuclear weapons tests conducted by the United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site. Buster-Jangle was the first joint test program between the DOD Operation Buster and Los Alamos National Laboratories Operation Jangle. As part of Operation Buster 6500 troops were involved in the Operation Desert Rock I II and III exercises in conjunction with the tests. The objective of Project 3.8 was to determine the effects of an atomic detonation on parked aircraft with respect to structural damage. The two aircraft allotted to this project were flown to Yucca Lake landing strip and then moved overland to the test location. For Dog Shot the fighter F-47 was positioned with tail toward the blast at a ground range of 4250 feet from the target ground zero. The bomber B-17 was located with the left side toward the blast at a ground range of 6510 feed from the target ground zero. Damage to the fighter from Dog Shot was confined primarily to the control surfaces whereas damage to the bomber included a severs fuselage buckle aft of the wing burning of the rudder fabric and extensive local skin damage. The aircraft were relocated for Easy Shot. The fighter was postitioned with the tail toward the blast at a ground range of 2675 feet. The bomber was placed with the nose toward ground zero at a range of 5847 feet. The fighter was severely damaged one wing failing completely. The bomber sustained additional damage to skin panels and the bomb-bay doors were buckled inward. Air Force Special Weapons Project/Air Force Flight Dynamics Lab, Wright-Patterson AFB paperback

The text lavishly illustrated with tipped-on black-and-white plates and color plates charts and diagrams has been divided into several parts. From Roberto Salvini eminent professor of the University of Florence comes the grand account of the whole and its parts; from Ettore Camesasca a distinguished younger scholar comes an exacting study of the literary and critical sources that have accumulated since 1541 when the completed Chapel was unveiled concerning each scene and figure as well as ceremonies architectural aspects and contemporary letters poems and drawings; Professor Carlo Ragghianti of the University of Pisa contributes a summation of the system of decoration. Descriptions historical background documents and literature and great events are covered and there is a full apparatus of notes and bibliography.
