As I mentioned in post #25. Strategic Air Command the film made way back in 1954/55 is hard to beat, it's my favourite, if only for its the sheer visual impact; the colour, clouds, and air-to-air photography is stunning.
As a bonus it’s something to see a flight deck that has no computer, digital display, or high tech flight control system.
Air-to-air sequences later in the film after “Dutch” Holland (James Stewart) converts to B-47’s are equally spectacular.
The dreamy music / love theme used to accompany the aerial sequences is “The World is Mine” by long established Hollywood composer Victor Young (one of his last compositions – he died in 1956, a year after the film’s release).
Some shots:
Six turning, four burning!
B-47 Sequences to follow.
