    Default A Nike missile destroys a B-17 bomber

    This is quite an interesting video clip. It shows a test interception of a radio controlled B-17 bomber by a Nike missile.

    The narration clearly states they are to shoot down a B-29 but just as clearly shows a B-17. Curious...... ;-)

    Remote controlled B-17s were used profusely for air defense testing and data collection at the Bikini Atoll post-war.

    I use to live 2 miles from a Nike site. The good ole early 60's. Nuclear bomb drills in school. Everyone in the center hallway in a turtle position.
