The B-52 Stratofortress has been in

Yet, the B-52s Bomber are still in front line service.
From the Webmaster: I was just making a phone call
from the Sacramento Army Depot. I looked out the window and I saw a small,
then quickly growing, black cloud coming from the countryside just east of the
Depot. It was a B-52 bomber that crashed after taking off from Mather Air
Force Base. It was incredible to see. I was very sorry that all
crewmembers lost their lives. .Please

DVD Video. Black & White, Closed-captioned, NTSC Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick's cold-war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with "the purity of precious bodily fluids," mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so- called "Doomsday Device," and the world hangs in the balance while the U.S. president (Peter Sellers) engages in hilarious hot-line negotiations with his Soviet counterpart. Sellers also plays a British military attach and the mad bomb-maker Dr. Strangelove; George C. Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about "acceptable losses." With dialogue ("You can't fight here! This is the war room!") and images (Slim Pickens's character riding the bomb to oblivion) that have become a part of our cultural vocabulary, Kubrick's film regularly appears on critics' lists of the all-time best. |
