The movie was Strategic Air Command , a propaganda piece for the Air Force. ("Propaganda" not meant in a "bad" sense.)

The two aircraft shown in the movie were the B-36 Peacemaker and the B-47 Stratojet. I had the chance when I was a kid during the 50s to actually see a B-36 up close at an Armed Forces Day open house. Six pusher piston engines and 4 jet engines and just a HUGE aircraft. I believe they nicknamed it "The Aluminum Overcast."

Yeah, the B-47 is the one I remember now. Apparenly that bomber wasn't used for long. Wasn't there also a Delta wing Bomber, The B-70 in development in the 1960s but that project had to be cancelled when that bomber crashed in its first test flight?

But do you remember the SOUND a B-36 made? As a young child I heard one fly at an air show at Byrd field in Richmond. (at least I remember my dad taking us there, it may have been somewhere else near Richmond, circa 1958 - 59)
