Beyond the Wild Blue is the most accurate rendition of the history of the United States Air Force that has ever been seen on the television or video. By a brilliant combination of archival film research and intensely personal interviews with many of the most important figures in the history of the Air Force, John Honey and Walter Boyne have produced a vivid and fast moving portrait of service which went from the ruins of World War II demobilization to become the principal weapon of the world's only Superpower.
Beyond the Wild Blue presents a comprehensive survey of all the great aircraft and missiles of the United States, as flown by the great aces, and as led into battle by a series of first rate leaders. The quality of their effort was underlined by the powerful air war plan executed against Iraq by the United States Air Force and its coalition allies. Even as the entire world watched in real time as Air Force Lockheed F-117s Stealth Fighters streaked through the flak filled skies of Baghdad to destroy Iraq's command system, the Strategic Air Command was poised to combat any threat of intervention by the still powerful Soviet Union. Beyond the Wild Blue tells the exciting almost unbelievable story of how the USAF reached the pinnacle of power through the bravery of its air crews and merit of its research and development programs.

The Strategic Air Command is established and Gen. Curtis LeMay is named as its commander. The tension of the Cold War was immediately felt as the Air Force took the lead role int he Berlin airlift and also created the Strategic Air Command for the delivery of nuclear weapons. The Korean War begins in 1950, and the Air Force flies its first combat missions. Also the development of intercontinental missiles begins in the mid-'50s.
