Every so often on the AMC Movie Channel they run Jimmy Stewart's propaganda film for the Air Force in the 1950's, "Strategic Air Command". Not a bad picture and this plane was featured in the film, this was before the arrival of the B-52, which will be around another 40 years as the workhorse of the Air Force.
The only thing I really hate about that movie in the portrayal by June Allyson as Stewart's whinny, immature wife. Otherwise if nothing else is on of interest I will watch it.
By the way that actor playing the General Curtis LeMay character is great & a hoot to watch, General LeMay was know as "The Great White Father" to the Air Force guys and made SAC what it was.

As I recall, General Hawks was played by Frank Lovejoy. "Don't tell me your little problems,Mister. I want RESULTS!"
