Strategic Air Command Film

[thowman]

For those of you with Sky and a liking of 1950s jets, you can currently watch Strategic Air Command on the Sky Go Player, with lots of B36 and B47s, a somewhat wooden propaganda type plot and of course the former Brigadier General James Stewart.

OK wooden acting but great shots of the big bombers of the 1950s...

The B36 for example, props turning, brakes squealing and turbines burning.

The elegant B47 which I remember seeing at Greenham Common in the 1960s

Ahhhhh

[SASless]

General Stewart who fly real bombers on real missions over Germany you might recall.

.....look really out for the cockpit reaction to "Fire on the port side engine...."
