Agreed. For its time “Battleground” was a great picture. Who was Khan Noonien Singh? I looked for the name at imdb.com but didn’t see it.
The character played by Ricardo Montalban in a 1960s “Star Trek” episode, and then in a movie, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.”
Did I mention he was mas macho? I took Spanish all through high school and college, and we often watched documentaries that he had narrated. I could listen to him read the phone book for hours, but listening to him talk about Southwestern folk art was even better.
on further thought, what good is a safety line at 31,000 feet? I suspect under combat situations, the line got in the way? If too long you would still get blown out?

problems with the “fire control blisters” where gunners were stationed to aim the barbettes; the blisters sometimes blew out when the craft was pressurized and flying at high altitude. (Gunners were advised to wear a safety line in order to avoid being blown overboard if a blister popped).
