Default Re: Aircraft pics

In the movie "Failsafe", the bombers are refered to as "Vindicators". The B-58 Hustler is an American aircraft. The Vindicator is a British plane, like the one in the James Bond movie "Thunderball".
I wondered back then why the discrepency.

Andy,

Honestly, who else knew the difference before the age of
cable TV & the internet...... Only geeks like us I guess.

Bill,

About John Denver's father - I saw that a man with that last
name did set a speed record in the B-58, but I just didn't
make the connection. How in the world did you?

Nuch
