#OperationLinebackerII ran from 18-29 December 1972, with US #B52 bombers attacking #Hanoi. It killed at least 1624 civilians, dropped 20,000 tons of ordnance, and peaked on #ThisDayInHistory with 120 #StratoFortress bombers -- the biggest combat launch for #StrategicAirCommand.

If I can not knock off the engines or tanks again, hopefully I can get the rest of the parts on with out too much fuss and be done with it.

On this day in 1947, Boeing's B-47 Stratojet made its first flight. This is my photo of the B-47E-80-BW (52-0410) that was on display at Pease Air Force Base back in 1983. Learn more about the Stratojet at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_... #HalifaxAuthor #StrategicAirCommand #ColdWarHistory

Happy B-Fifty Tuesday! Here's a rather long shot I took of a Boeing B-52G Stratofortress from the 42nd Bomb Wing arriving at Loring Air Force Base back in 1988. The chute has just been popped. #HalifaxAuthor #BFiftyTuesday #UnitedStatesAirForce #StrategicAirCommand

Behind the Scenes of America's Cold War Nuclear Defence (1965)
Behind the Scenes of America's Cold War Nuclear Defence (1965) On 7 April 1965, ITN's Peter Woods reported from Offutt Airforce Base in Omaha, Nebraska, on the United States Strategic Air Command (SAC), the nerve centre from which the United States' nuclear arsenal was controlled. From inside the control room of the Air Command headquarters, Woods saw how America's nuclear deterrent capability was constantly monitored - and was given a sense of the process by which a retaliatory thermonuclear strike would be ordered in the event of war with the Soviet Union. He also spoke to SAC pilot Captain Larry Moen and his wife, Mrs Moen, about how it felt to be on the frontline of America's nuclear defences. Did it weigh on the captain's mind that he might one day be called on to unleash the full, world-ending might of America's thermonuclear arsenal? Not particularly, he told Woods. He had done the job for so long it had all become "quite routine". #NuclearWar #NuclearBomb #NuclearBombs #StrategicAirCommand #SAC #AtomicWar #Thermonuclear #HydrogenBomb #HBomb #NuclearWeapons #Nuclear #1960s #ColdWar #NuclearHolocaust To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/2/film?phrase=X07046501*&sort=best&license=rf%2Crr To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage/itn 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) - https://www.youtube.com/@ITNArchive 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ITNArchive 🎥 Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ITNArchiveITNP 🎥 Check out our TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itnarchive1955
