12/6/54 - Jet Age Man
Ralph Morse

A jet flier is measured for a flight helmet by means of a light-beam contour map. The jet age has made flying so difficult and dangerous that fliers who guide their B-47s, the bombers that comprise the backbone of the Strategic Air Command, at nearly 500 mph are driven by the strain close to the limits of human capability.  Carrying 100,000 times more potent destructive force almost twice as high and twice as fast as W.W.II's B-29's, the new plane has forced airmen to merge with their machines in order to control them.
