For those of you old enough to remember Jimmy Stewart in
"Strategic Air Command" in the 1950's, here is
a clip from that movie. Like many of the other films of
that period, Stewart played a major league baseball player
in the Post WWII period who is called back to active duty
service to join SAC.
Anyway, whoever sent out this clip found some good pictures
=0 A of the interiors and exterior of the B-36.
Remember, "Six Turnin' and Four
Burnin"".....the six props and the four jets that
were hung out on the wing to help the production models get
off the ground.
The B-36 was designed during WWII when the US thought that
England would be lost and we would be fighting the Germans
from the US and Canada. It was designed to take the War
to European cities from this side of the Atlantic.
Last of the piston-engined bombers.a behemoth
Worth it for the sound - six piston and four jet engines
You will also see Jimmy Stewart on the jump seat.....
Look at all those instruments and engine contr ols at
the Flight Engineer station.
Also note that the Co-Pilot controls the Jet engines
while the Flight Engineer controls the pistons

Subject: RE: Commander-List:
It's a pity that movie isn't available on DVD, or even better, Blueray. Som
e of the best flying footage ever shot. Most folks don't remember the B-36
(I do because it was actually used as a borate bomber for a short time, al
ong with the B-29 which lasted considerably longer). The story is only so-
so though it would be nice if folks remembered what things we like in the e
arly 50s ( like the honour of getting to be a "retread".) and what kind of
debt we owe to the people who served during that time (and later, while we
are at it).

Subject: RE: Commander-List:
Great footage. How many of you recognized Col. Sherman Potter's voice (MASH
4077) in the background. Only after a second look did I recognize him; he
sat right of Jimmy in the opening scenes.
I was wondering whether setting max power on the jets so early was because
they didn't have faith in them yet at the time or what. Perhaps today that
would be the last thing they did.

I think you are right because I think those were the same engines we had on
the B-47 and it could trake up to 12 seconds to spool up from idle to 100
percent.
