For those with TCM cable channel

Recommended Posts

a VERY very rare gem of a film will be broadcast tommowrrow morning, 11 am PST

 

not so much for the acting, but the action -- and the aircraft .

Filmed at Edwards AFB in the mid-1950s, it's a wonder chance to see some early research aircraft, including the X-2 and the XB-51 (masquareding as a fighter) and a very young James Garner!

and this best site for it...
