Kennedy Sees Mighty Air Power Display (Universal Newsreel, May 1962)

Description

The original release sheet reads: KENNEDY SEES MIGHTY AIR POWER DISPLAY President Kennedy is guest of honor at a display of military air might at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Napalm saturation bombings, air-to-air kills and mid-air refueling are highlights of the show. JAPANESE RAIL DISASTER More than 150 people die in a three-train crash near Tokyo. Most deaths are caused as a second train piles into two derailed trains. GENERAL CLAY RETIRES The President's representative in West Berlin is made an honorary citizen as he retires and is serenaded by the people. OF WOODEN SHIPS AND IRON MEN A three-masted training ship sails into New York harbor - the first German Naval vessel to visit the U.S. since 1936. SPORTS RUN FOR THE ROSES: "DECIDEDLY" WINS DERBY CLASSIC An eight-to-one shot, coming from nowhere in the stretch, outruns four other horses to take the (88th running) Kentucky Derby in record time. "DECIDEDLY" clips a full second from "Whirlaway's" 1941 record.
