English: "Thin Man" plutonium gun test casings at Muroc Army Air Field, as part of Project Alberta in the Manhattan Project. Early "Fat Man" test casings can be seen behind them. Note that despite the source linked below listing this photo as being at Wendover Air Base, it much more likely it was from Muroc. See this talk page for the reasoning and evidence. |
