Segment 3 (silent): Footage of the Air Force's Strategic Air Command annual combat competition. B-52 bombers are seen dropping bombs, with explosions; Fairchild Air Force Base entry sign; U.S. Air Force railroad cars with radar equipment; radar instruments. Script reads, "One of the most effective weapons used in the fight against Communism in Southeast Asia is the pinpoint bombing by the Strategic Air Command. The Pacific-based Strato fortresses continuously strike the Vietcong in both North and South Vietnam. Training for highly skilled bombing is a year-round operation within SAC. A highlight of this training is an annual combat competition, which tests the skills of the bomber crews. Selected crews met this year at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington, for SAC's world series of bombing. Electronic warfare officers aboard the B52 representing the 93rd bomb wing at Castle Air Force Base was Captain David Martin of Sunnyvale. Bombing effectiveness is scored by radar, housed in a specifically-designed train. In the air, the big bomber is directed toward its target by the radar-navigator, one of the six-man crew. When on target, the bomber drops its payload in the form of harmless electronic impulse. This allows the radar technicians in the train to compute the accuracy of the mission. After the bomb run, each crew returns to the competition headquarters to await the results. The spirit of competition is keen as scores are recorded and each crew vies for unit honors as well as individual recognition." 10/10/66 A-D 617; 10/10/66 E-F 617; 10/10/66 G-H 617; 10/10/66 I-K 617; 10/10/66 A-D 617; 10/10/66 E-F 617; 10/10/66 G-H 617; 10/10/66 I-K 617; 10/10/66 A-D 617; 10/10/66 E-F 617; 10/10/66 G-H 617; 10/10/66 I-K 617; 10/10/66 A-D 617; 10/10/66 E-F 617; 10/10/66 G-H 617; 10/10/66 I-K 617
