To all veterans here, thank you for your service! There was never a more dire time for us who slept through it. Thank you for protecting the world. May the Blessings Be.
Good Monday morning History Guy and everyone watching. Happy holidays to everyone. I'm a veteran of the Cold War, Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), Global War on Terrorism, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. USN 1982-2003.
The 1979 "super goof" was the THG episode that had me first subscribe to this channel. I was in the USAF in missile communications at F. E. Warren in Nov 1979. I think we all were still shook days afterward.
Thanks THG!!!! As a Cold War vet myself (on the fence on 9 Nov. 1989) and seeing the very beginnings of the fall of the Warsaw Pact first hand, these episodes mean a lot. Good job!!!
I just found this! I love the obscure global history of the mid to late 20th century thanks for doing the research and presentation of this very relevant notes in history.
Served in Germany along the Czechoslovakian and East German Borders, out of Camp Pitman and OP Alpha (with one gnarly tour up at Romeo in 84). Happier than duck in water when that damned Wall came down, and I could walk across the former Grenz into Thurigan from Hessen at Alpha without some BT putting an AKS upside my nostril.
Well, for one thing, 9th of November 1979 was one day after my birthday. I'm not saying it has anything to do with the development of the Cold War, but I assure you there were some sleepless nights in my family.
Wow a 5 story feature with no Big Bangs -We Win! Story 1. 7:30 THG speaks right but the view is of F-102 Daggers. They have pointy tails & intake beside cockpit, F-106 Darts have flat tails & intakes behind cockpits. Deuces went to Nam '63-68, but most went ANG by 70s. Most likely Sixers were "on alert" on 11/09/79. LAFB & most of ADTAC replaced with F-15 in '83. Just my grain of SALTII. Story2 11:05: Pinetree line. 13:34 That dar mitten has its thumb on wrong side, eh? Grand Travers Bay out do'n Saggy naw! 16:19 Still a Deuce back behind the RCAF Avro CF-100 Canuck. Couldn't record off FM radio up here as got that every 20sec bip from SAGE radar stations. Missed out on trip to Moose Jaw like half the squad did in 80s, red flannel days. S3 22:18 Texas Tower#4 23:02 TU-95 Bear, then 23:03 ?? straight winged ole Gloster Meteors F.8? 23:27 A tandem cockpit XB-52 from 1952. Nice to see just a rounder, no lightning bolts airman's service cap. S4 32:21 NAA Rocketdyne Meltdown See ya got a NAA silvery drop-tank full range P-51. next to one of the 13 Aztec skulls? Then for S5 takes an Eastern Airline 'er shoot up over his head, near a radioactive sign & a Rockman's helmet without the sodium salt-water blast off. S5 42:19 Oct 1962 Cuban Missiles while also Sino-Indian War Let's see for Our side cold war you got Corvair, Boeing, Arvo, NAA-Rockwell/Rocketdyne, & Lockheed U2 & F-104. Red Star USSR only got Tupolev Tu-95 Bear & Tu-114 Cleat/passenger. 50:46. That's ok, can't type full MIG, Il ,Yak, Polikarpov,, Su or whatever backward letter names they HAD. Now It's China making their own fighters, Chengdu & Shenyangs. Both China & India do most repairs on them old Soviet planes.
The Soviets had their share of false alarms. One occurred in September 1983, when their own computers "reported" that the U.S. had launched a limited nuclear strike against Russia.
@TheHistoryGuyChannel same. My twin brother went through with the eagle scout rank. But we happened to be at that age when friends and goofing around became more important to me. Looking back do wish I finished the requirements for eagle.

But didn't Germany test 2 small Nukes long before the US ??? They had the delivery ability to the USA... Look up milk cow subs and Diesel Engine Flying Boats !!! I often wonder why they never used it ??? The deeper you dig the weirder it gets !!!

When he talks about something important he talks loudly and with urgency. It shows he's very passionate about whatever subject he's talking about
Stellar! Many thanks!
I was on Alert duty at that time. All our aircraft were manned and ready to start engines. We waited, not knowing if this was the day or not.
I was in missile com at F. E. Warren and remember getting that early morning recall and told to "hurry."
Thanks!
Thank you!

These episodes dovetail together nicely! Good opportunity to reinforce the learning!
Fantastic "rest of the story" pieces of history!

My dad worked on the assemblage of the D.E.W. line. Goose Bay AFB and Labradore. The later two was to make them compatible with their SAC mission.
A gentleman I worked with was stationed on Tower 4 and he was one of the crew evacuated.

You too? I was at Pitman as an augmentee from the 70 armor out of Erlangen. Was at Pitman in 1989.

I noticed that you’ve got a 1957 Corvette model sitting on your shelf. Do you own one or is it something you dream to own?
Btw History Guy: "Spur Ride" might be an interesting episode in this day and age. 😎
I'll never part with mine.
