Re: SAC CCKW
Not really that familiar with the SB colour - is this an accurate rendition of it?

Re: SAC CCKW
Not too bad, my M38A1 has Strata Blue on the underneath parts, and those areas seem pretty close to what Cabel has.

I don't know...but it's going to be tested with that hydrogen balloon and foil target! Maybe they were testing some captured German Wurzburg. ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Re: SAC CCKW
I figured they were just doing weather observations - wind strength etc - but as they appear to be mobile units, they could be measuring prevailing winds to map fallout distribution. Here's the caption:
SAC B-36 bomber targets are equipped with stations like this manned by this ground crewmen rounding up SAC trucks loaded w. equipment to plot the fall of theoretical bomb, as they use hydrogen gas tank to fill weather balloon which measure the winds, at
Location: Fort Worth, TX, US
Date taken: April 1951
I remember a fellow high school student once asking our science teacher (who had degrees in nuclear physics) what's the best thing to do in the event of a nuclear attack - his exact answer was "Put your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye". He obviously didn't believe in the "Duck and cover" theory.
Take a close look into the International's cab - a first aid kit is mounted on the back of the cab. Just in case!!![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
