There is a description of the circumstances surrounding the event, followed by a recreation of the event itself.
Military History buffs will enjoy hearing the recruiting advertisements for the fledgling United States Air Force. The Air Force became a separate military service in 1947. The mid 50's, as well as the being the early days of the Cold War, was also the infancy of the Jet Age. Young American men had a terrific opportunity to "Go Places" and receive valuable technical training in the Air Force. There was also a call for much needed experienced former service members to put their skills to use.
