Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Air Forces at Home. DESCRIPTION: On show beside Royal Air Force V-Bombers, at Mildenhall, was the supersonic Delta Dagger, an American interceptor. The C-133, largest of all American Cargo-Carriers was just one of the transports attracting attention at this At Home day. And there was the US Third Air Force Marching Band, for extra entertainment. In the flying displays, Lightnings of 74 Squadron RAF, the Tiger Squadron, gave a demonstration of precision. Finally, there was a spectacular display by the Skyblazers, the American Super Sabres.
