In the movie it was! :-)))

JS> We were already getting the F model B-52s in 1958. Call it
JS> progaganda but 2200 B-47s supported by 650 B-52 is a bit
JS> more than propaganda. The Strategic Air Command insured the
JS> peace.
But the story was kinda propaganda of the cold war.
The usual stuff of that time.
JS> You should have watched History as well as discovery channel..
JS> They are good but some of the editing is poor.. Such as seige guns
JS> shooting at aircraft... Many little mistakes only seen by some

I wish I could :-)
I am leaving for Capetown on Friday and will shut down my Fido
echos (or I would sit down for weeks digging thru 4 weeks of echo mails).
So no need to send a reply, it certainly will end up nowhere. :-)
