Great color Boeing B-47 footage here! This film is a 1950s time capsule from the Cold War. I remember hiding under my desk during "duck and cover" Civil Defense drills when I was a kid in elementary school. See the design, development and manufacturing of the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, the US Air Force's first operational long range all jet bomber. Then you'll follow a crew from SAC's McConnell Air Force Base (3250th Combat Crew Training Wing) on a training mission that simulates a night attack using a practice target in the US. There are some great shots of the Stratojet on the ground and in the air, including night air refueling. You'll also hear crew dialog as they work through various procedures during the bomb run.
