The intro to the show with a JATO takeoff of a B-47 was captivating. Please keep in mind that all that same gun-camera footage you've now seen 1000 times was brand-new in 1957. And it certainly didn't hurt to have Walter Cronkite, the single most respected TV journalist of the 20th Century, as the narrator.
The shows were great. It was on Sunday in prime time. And that Time-Life series ISN'T the same material, by the way. AIR POWER has never been on videotape or DVD - and it should be, just as The World At War.
By the way, was it true that the theme song was written as an ode to Norman Jewison?
