Klaxon!

Lindsay Peacock Once upon a time in a school to the west of London there was a young lad named Lindsay who was very interested in steam engines. One day during morning break, while in the school playground in early 1960 at the tender age of 12, he happened to look up and see what was making all the noise. It was a Belgian Air Force C-119G Flying Boxcar on approach to Northolt. The rest is history...and the steam engines were very quickly forgotten, especially after he went to Heathrow Airport for the first time. Among his many publications are books on Strategic Air Command, the B-47, and the B-52.

From 1957 until 1991, the Strategic Air Command of the US Air Force (SAC) fought a war of deterrence. Every single day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, thousands of men, women, and hundreds of aircraft were kept on alert, armed with nuclear weapons, ready to attack pre-determined targets on short notice.
