Actually, the poster who has provided the most information regarding weights and sizes of various extant weapons is from the Isle of Mann. All the information is public (indeed, the Davy Crockett features in a museum in the United States), and the films/photos of all the testing is declassified. The Nuclear Weapons archive website has pretty comprehensive information. A great deal of the footage is now nicely packaged in a movie called 'Trinity and Beyond - The Atom Bomb Movie' (which was narrated by William Shatner) I'm fascinated by cold war history, especially the technical aspects. The Davy Crockett is actually a rather interesting one (not just its small size and small yield, being close to the theoretical minimum size possible), but also how aptly it is named. The Davy Crockett crew would almost certainly be committing suicide if they ever had to use one in anger against advancing Soviet troops! -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
