This video is from our 8mm home movies that I digitized after my dad's passing. The event was in early 1959, and I have no information about it, other than I am fairly certain it was at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, where my dad was employed by a civilian contractor. There is a shot of a good-sized crowd in attendance. It may have been for soldiers' and contractors' families only, or it may have been public, I just don't know.
There is artillery fire, an Honest John missile sent downrange, and F-100s and F-104s dropping napalm. 8mm home movies, so no audio. I couldn't be bothered to put music to it.
