Operation Mushroom

Summary Steve is assigned to pilot a plane that drops a test big one. This is a straightforward account of the preparation, dropping, and subsequent testing of an H-bomb and its aftereffects. There's plenty of excellent Air Force archival footage, custom footage (shot just for this episode) and narrative chatter, but also lots of good conventional acting, which gives this a strong documentary flavor. One of the best of the series.
