Desert Thunders With Answer To Reds It's a jet up and go show from start to finish.... At Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada - 10 nations participate to make the Mojave Desert ring with voices of the free world air power. Something to witness this world congress of flight and none present will ever forget it. Navy Blue Angels, Air Force Thunderbirds, Chinese nationalists' Tigers, Italy's Red Devils, Royal Netherlands Dash-4s---all these and many more. A morale stiffener for the free world in the face of Russian efforts to boot us out of Berlin. A dazzling display of military air might ---which staggers the imagination. Las Vegas Convention Center building and sign. Casually dressed crowd watches. Air show, planes flying in formation, etc. Motion picture (movie) cameras aimed upward.
