This short contains rare footage of the USAF "Sabre Knights". They were an unofficial flight demonstration team that was made up of four pilots from the 325th Fighter Interceptor Squadron based at Hamilton AFB. They were in existence from April 1954 to August 1955 when the squadron was relocated to Truax Field in Wisconsin.
Jack Webb is introduced to three young pilots in the base's ready room. The center pilot is future astronaut Gordon Cooper. Cooper was the fourth American, and final Project Mercury pilot, to orbit the Earth. He later flew in the Gemini capsule.
Jack Webb talks as if he was a pilot in the Air Force years before. He did enlist in the U.S. Army Air Force during WWII but "washed out" of flight training and then received a hardship discharge as the sole supporter of his mother and grandmother.
The car Jack Webb drives is a 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner convertible in a two-tone paint job of "Waterfall Blue" and "Snowshoe White".
The airplane model on Col. Breech's desk that Jack Webb spins around is a North American F-100 Super Sabre. Introduced into service in 1954, a year before this film, it was the Air Force's newest fighter, and can be briefly seen in flight later in the picture.
