r l l Ready to lift the booms. Finishing touches. . Final Instructions. Operation Flashbulb During the cruise, the men of the ANTIETAM took part in many firsts . Onevof which was the largest night, color picture ever taken. The Sylvania Electric Company chose the ANTIETAM to be the subject for this new technique in photography because she represented the newest tech- niques in carrier operations. The photograph depicted a typical night operation, with jets being catapulted and landing on the canted deck. It was taken by a hovering Navy blimp containing the camera and the remote control gear which launched a plane, set-off thousands of flashbulbs, and took the picture all within approximately one-eighth of a second. Timing, teamwork, and though in the placing of flashbulbs from the ship's trunk to the fwaterline made the second photo attempt another ANTIETAM success story. Flashbulb reflectors rigged on booms. A trial run.
