Air Force Now 235 Part 1

Description

The original agency catalog description reads: Audience: Air Force Commander's Call. Synopsis: Segment 1 in this month's issue features training for the future. With today's high-tech Air Force, you need high-tech training. Enter the interactive videodisc -- the marriage of computer and laserdisc player. By simulating hazardous conditions or expensive equipment, interactive videodiscs are the wave of the future. Segment 2 presents Project Warrior: Colonel Walker M. "Bud" Mahurin. His story is a fascinating character study in combat leadership. During World War II, he was a leading ace, but during the Korean conflict he spent many months as a Prisoner of War. Colonel Mahurin tells his compelling story as spectacular aerial combat footage takes us back to World War II and Korea. Segment 3 is a 2-minute fitness spot. General Merrill A. McPeak, Commander in Chief, Pacific, (CINCPAC) states that every man and woman wearing a blue uniform is a warrior -- not just a civilian in uniform. Purpose: Explains the Air Force mission and accomplishments.
