This film left out the most important birds....Tankers...they always launch first , without refueling the bombers and escorts will never reach the target. Nobody Kicks A** Without Tanker Gas ( NKAWTG).....Nobody!
You know it's urgent when you don't have time to close the fabric/plastic door on a Jeep.
or wipe the shaving cream off...!
The B-47 was such a beautiful plane
B-47s turn into B-52s, but nice footage nonetheless. 😉
Such was the pace of development in the 1950s...
The B-47 and the B-52 were in service during the same time period and both were scrambled during alerts. The B-58 Hustler too.
A B-52... a friend you can depend on!. 👍✈️
Although it has a rather unfortunate nickname
B-47 is such a strange aircraft to me. It’s like they took a typical fighter design from the time, and expanded it to the size of a bomber.
Obese f-100/f-86
This is some great footage. I wish someone would restore the old SAC footage. I find SAC incredibly interesting, but it seems I’m the only one. I’d love to find more footage like this. I need to find SACS version of you
Where’s Major Kong?
I also like watching a lot of the old SAC footage.
This is what Strategic Air Command practiced for for over 46 years, yet we never had to drop our bombs in anger all that time. Why ? because our adversaries knew we had the ability to strike any time day or night and no matter the weather!
I love the music. It is right out of a Hitchcock movie
So B-47s are scrambled, but B-52 drops the bomb. Cheeky.
It took the B-47 so long to get scrambled that by the time it had, it had already been replaced by the BUFF. The pace of technological development in the 1950s was so rapid.
Bet those rocket assist take offs were a kick in the ass.
The B 47 was a pretty maneuverable bomber, and it’s attack profile was low level until bomb drop and then almost straight up.
Flying Finger 4 formations. Wild.
The fact that this was publicly shown back was just to show the Russians USAF were well trained and very well practiced. I don't think the Soviets wouldn't have worked so hard on the ICBM and SSBN parts if they believed their nuclear air force was matched to the USAF.
Pretty sure that 1:05 is in Tucson, glad to see some historical footage from where I live!
Hopefully you have you hair and fingernails intact....ha just kidding of course.
Even more obvious at 1:15. The scalloped ridge at the SW of the Catalina range is unmistakable.
Yes, no doubt that's DM. The Catalina's, Black Mntn, and Kitt Peak in the background. Notice how primitive the living quarters were back then.
I like the dramatic music score and of course, the scramble scene.
Kind of confusing, because I think some of this was filmed at March AFB ( Riverside, CA ), and I think some of it was filmed at Rabat AB in Morocco ( A SAC "REFLEX" base for B-47 deployments )?
I love those B-52s.
It does make you wonder, how many would have made it to Russia with no fighter escort
They did a simulated attack on London, it failed not one got through
They did a real/simulated attack on New York, it was succesful, The US Radar never saw the V force coming (Vulcan, Victor, Valiant)
The V Bomber force reached its peak in June 1964 with 50 Valiants, 70 Vulcans and 39 Victors in service.
If the primary target proved to be too difficult then alternate targets existed. The first wave would likely get decimated but it would drop its bombs on whatever targets were at the extremeties. Once those nukes poked holes in the air defence the second wave would get further inland. The third wave would likely get all the way in. No one has ever conducted an air defence while the enemy is nuking at your doorstep. No one can say with certainty how it would proceed. Odds are those nukes especially old style multimegaton nukes would have an impact. Especially on fragile radar stations. The shockwave may not destroy a station 15 km away but it would certainly damage a few circuits. If you detonate about 20 2-5 megaton nukes every 25 km that's gonna create a big hole in your air defence. And that's all you need. Once a few holes are poked its over.
The amount of nuclear weapons and the like the US has produced is both amazing and terrifying.
And it isn't much compared to the soviets!
The US managed to develop accurate missiles, but the soviet didn't, so they just made bigger bombs instead...
The b47 is amazing
4:01 - The sky & clouds scene completely changed to another location when the bomb exploded.
Yea, this video is pretty random. Still, there are some good scenes!
At 1:21 it’s sounds like the start up of an x-wing from Star Wars
B-47
Ike left me in charge that day. The men did a fantastic job spooking the f**k out of Moscow that morning.
Richard, I thought you are just a head in a jar... How do you type?
@@sulfo4229 Speech to text. "Aroo". See?
Well played sir :-D
How's Checkers doing? Glad you kept the dog.
Real DayTripper
Glorious.
Хах! Когда 10 минут назад посмотрел Клима Жукова про Аттол Бикини =).
Several B52 scenes in that B47 film.
when the icbms became widespread, that alarm sound would have been already much too late.
My grandmother tells me stories of the 50s and these alerts.
now these are some of the best bombers ever built i love the classics alot and when these planes were in service with american us army air core staff they kept this country safe and stable every one ate good with there tv dinners and look how the missle bases kept this country safe and good classic movies were made during this era we need to bring these planes back they are safe and good flying
had no idea the b-47 was so big.
Those sirens sound suspiciously like horns
I like how when they were filming this (I assume it's just made for propaganda) that they actually left the door on the one jeep open after the previous shot.
Amazing view of the flying parking lot of hot b52s 3:29
Would appear to be a Mark 5 nuclear bomb about 3:49, yes? To my knowledge, the only one with that particular shape, not to mention the IFI doors that are quite visible as it clears the bomb bay (not aware of any thermonuclear weapons that used in flight insertion).
Why did they drop the bomb with the emergency jettison handle? I mean, it looks cool and everything. But isn't there a normal drop mechanism other than the cool D ring in the ceiling? Also, is this the origin of the pull / twist / push auto destruct knob in every SciFi movie?
Why the french on the sign saying to give way to the priority vehicles ?
Wow
I've always found that air raid siren very disturbing
American dream =)
The B-52H's were put back on 24 hour alert in 2018, due to the New Cold War, Cold War II, the Russian Bear is strong again, on the prowl, and hungry. They're currently based at Minot and Barksdale.
That doesn't seem very practical. By the time they climb to their cruise altitude wouldn't all the Russian and/or Chinese missiles have hit their targets already?
@@mrpalacesyou know something bad is happening when all the Tankers take off...they always go before anything else because NKAWTG....Nobody!
At 4:00, looks to me, like the Redwing Navaho shot.
Damn, these old bombers smoked like current russian aircraft lmao
Was the rocket assist necessary to get the B-47 off the ground or did it just help to get it off faster/ in a shorter distance
Most likely the latter. They were known for horrendous fuel consumption at low altitude. It doesn't make sense for safety reasons to put a plane on a runway it couldn't take off from in case the rato setup failed to ignite.
0:51
*forgot to close the door*
Which shot is it ? The dropped bomb looks like a B53.
I think it is an early fission weapon, the Mark V: nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Mk5.jpg The B53 doesn't have a flat nose. nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/B53.html. These films are all spliced together from different shots. Obviously this shot was in the Pacific.
Did these planes have fighter support?
They flew way higher than a fighter that era could reach.
Less than 8 minutes for Soviet SLBMs to hit 😂 these are ALL burnt wrecks, they would even target off the end of the runways to hit the flight paths😂
666 likes. Hail Satan
Beautiful.
Kind of a shame they never got to actually use all that training and equipment.
Uhhh... I am personally quite happy they never got to use any of that!
Yeah, really! Kind of a shame for the Russians as well.
Wtf? So you wished they had a chance to drop their ordnance in ww3 ?
Served in SAC 1966/67 Altus afb trans sqd glad their training stopped it from happening ‼️‼️‼️
So u wish end of the world strikes? U most likely would never had been born
Sinistro
Say bro, we dont need the fake soundtrack
The video stands as an historical record on its own, music is cool, just dont need the staged sounds
Bruh are you kidding me, I pay all this money in taxes and they're using trucks from the 50s
