In addition to the bar part; I thought he was also in the B29 scene?
Right Stuff is a great movie. It makes me very proud of this nation to see what we accomplished back then.
I think of how short of time span it was between breaking the sound barrier, and the Wright Brothers first flight.
Amazing!!
Also I watched Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart on NetFlix.
A very interesting movie that gave a lot of insight into the the rapid change after WWII.
Brig General Jimmy Stewart, USAFR. He wasn’t half-bad as an actor, either .
My uncle was in SAC, a navigator on a tanker if I recall. What I do remember is that they were stationed in Minot, ND, and they had to plug in their car in winter or the engine oil congealed.
