This movie inspired me to enter the United States Air force in 1956. I spent 29 years in the Air Force and retired as a Chief Master Sergeant in 1985. It may not have a blockbuster film, but it did record the early attempts toward space flight. It is a record of the history of the high altitude parachute jumps of Col Joe Kittinger who actually made those jumps.
I met Col Kittinger when I was stationed at Udorn RTAFB, Thailand in 1972. He is my boyhood hero.
