	Strategic Air Command - Wikipedia
		Das Strategic Air Command (SAC) war während des Kalten Krieges die zentrale Luftstreitmacht innerhalb der US-Luftwaffe und der Inbegriff der militärischen Wachsamkeit und der nuklearen Abschreckung der USA.
		Der Einsatz von Atombomben wäre ebenfalls vom SAC durchgeführt worden, da sie als strategische Waffen begriffen wurden und wegen ihrer Größe nur mit schweren Bombern transportiert werden konnten.
		Die Tank- und Transportflugzeuge wurden dem Air Mobility Command zugeordnet, während die Bomber, Aufklärer und Interkontinentalraketen zusammen mit den Kampfflugzeugen des Tactical Air Command das neue Air Combat Command bildeten.

		The general commanded SAC for nearly 10 years, and under his leadership and supervision, plans were laid for the development and integration of an intercontinental ballistic missile capability.
		SAC’s first bombers were primarily World War II B-29s, with the B-50 and B-36 arriving in the SAC inventory during 1948 and 1949.

		Communist night air defenses became effective in the winter of 1952-53, and between 18 November 1952 and 30 January 1953, five B-29s were destroyed, and three others so badly damaged as to require depot reclamation.

	Strategic Air Offensive
		By the end of 1940 the Air Ministry had generally accepted that a tour of operational duty should offer a 50% chance of survival, and in the case of Bomber Command this was generally accepted as being 30 sorties, but not exceeding 200 hours of operational flying.
		In August 1942 ACM Harris, the new head of Bomber Command, indicated that he wanted to change the basis of a tour to 30 "sorties completed", and that a completed sortie would be one for which the crew satisfied the squadron commander, normally by photographic evidence, that the target had been bombed.
		Whilst MRAF Sir C Portal was charged with the "strategic direction" of both British and American bomber operations, matters of tactics and technique were left to the commanders concerned, ACM Sir A Harris and Lieut.Gen. Ira Eaker, with the result that the two forces tended to go their own different ways in respect of detail.

		Certainly its for any Strategic Air Command crew member who sprinted to his airplane, wondering if this alert was the real one-and wondering not if he would get back but if his family would be alive when he did.
		It is for the people of the former Soviet Union, whose leaders were wise enough to recognize that SAC could not be trifled with, that there were no combination of circumstances which would permit a first strike on the United States that would not be countered with a devastating riposte by the Strategic Air Command.
		These news-readers always maligned the Strategic Air Command, its people and its leaders, confident that their lip-synching news that was fed to them was the truth, and unaware that in the Soviet Union they would have been the first to go.

		As a time-capsule, the movie also deals with a period when the Air Force was moving to jet bombers and gearing up to fight the cold war.
		Forget the story line, forget the Air Force propaganda pitch from the fifties and just relax and enjoy a spectacular scenic view of what others did to help "protect and defend" during a earlier era.
		The film honestly portrays how the air crews (and for that matter, all USAF personnel) were brutally overworked and appallingly underpaid at that time.
