Ratings and reviews

First time I saw this movie I was sold on how fun it could be to join and be a part of the USAF. So I joined. This movie shows how it was to be in the Air Force in the mid to late 1950's before the Vietnam war. Great period movie. I highly recommend this movie if you love watching B-36s and B-47s...you'll love this movie. (Also, watch for a Warner Brothers short titled "24 Hour Alert", staring Jack Webb on TCM. Even better... with a lot of early jets including the Century Series fighters.)

This movie is great. The only really good footage of the giant B-36. Love those old cars from the 50's, too.

SAC at their prime during the cold war. No high technology. Pilots were WW2 hands who could really fly.
