This video highlights the United States Air Forces nuclear capable aircraft available in the early 1950s. Featured aircraft included the strategic bombers B-29, B-50, B-36, B-47 and B-52, while the tactical aircraft were the B-45, B-57, F-86, and F-84.

The video depicts a Mark-6 , or "60-inch nuclear bomb" in a nuclear test. The Mark 7 tactical nuclear weapon, or "30-inch nuclear bomb," is shown being loaded and tested by the newest delivery method, the Low Altitude Bombing System (LABS). With LABS, a tactical aircraft flies toward an "initial point," then commences a "4G" climb, and releases the bomb at a designated point in the climb. By the time the bomb detonates, the aircraft is a safe distance away.

The video shows that the Air Force had a wide choice of aircraft, bombs, and delivery methods, and could use them to protect the welfare and security of the country.
