Film 1: Big Picture: Army Digest Number Nine: Nike Zeus-Pershing (1961) B&W Total Runtime 27 minutes. This issue of The Big Picture presents the story of two of our newest missiles currently under development, and their roles in this nation's defense. First is the Nike Zeus, designed to intercept and destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles before they reach their intended targets. The Big Picture shows some of the early development tests of the Zeus missile system which is now in the advance testing stage of development. Second is the United States Army's powerful surface-to-surface ballistic missile, the Pershing, a highly reliable and mobile field weapon. The Big Picture follows its development through early research and testing to current models soon to be placed in the nation's arsenal. Film 2: The Big Picture: Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM): The Inner Ring (1966) COLOR Runtime 27 minutes Army Air Defense Command (ARADCOM): The Inner Ring... This film shows how the soldiers of the Army Air Defense Command used the Nike Hercules and other missiles in their control to defend the U.S. against imaginary enemy attack. Scenes also describe the development of the newer Nike X missile." Hosted by Hollywood actor Darrin McGavin. Film 3: The Big Picture: Pershing Joins the Ranks (1964) COLOR Runtime 28 minutes Recently, a potent new addition to the U.S. Army's arsenal of ground-to-ground missiles became operational. Its name: the Pershing. The proving of a reliable, long-range ballistic missile involves months of preparation - moments of tension and drama - obstacles both technical and human which must be overcome. This week's The Big Picture documents all of these, in telling the story of how "Pershing Joins the Ranks." All 3 films are automatically Public Domain because they were made by the U.S. Military. I claim ownership and rights to this media. All the films on this DVD have been researched and are copyright free or the copyrights have expired due to non renewal.
