The B-47 Stratojet: Pilot Training Film (1952)
The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was an American long range, six-engine, turbojet-powered strategic bomber designed to fly at high subsonic speed and at high altitude to avoid enemy interceptor aircraft. The B-47's primary mission was to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union. With tandem seating like a fighter; and engines carried in nacelles under swept wings--the B-47 was a leap in post-World War II combat jet design, and had a part in the development of modern jet airliners.
The B-47 entered service with the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1951. It never saw combat as a bomber, but was a mainstay of SAC during the 1950s and early 1960s. The Stratojet remained in use as a bomber until 1965. It was also adapted to a number of other missions, including photographic reconnaissance, electronic intelligence and weather reconnaissance, remaining in service as a reconnaissance aircraft until 1969; and as a testbed until 1977.
Starring actor Reed Hadley, this 1952 video from the United States Air Force (USAF) is a dramatized orientation film about the B-47 Stratojet (and jet aircraft in general).
