Description
Photo of a B-36 airplane. On reverse: "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The city of Fort Worth, the Convair plant, and Carswell Air Force Base make an appropriate background for a B-36 intercontinental bomber in flight. For many years, this was a familiar sight to people of Fort Worth, to employees of Convair, who built and tested all of the B-36's in the Strategic Air Command, and to personnel at Carswell Air Force Base, where the first B-36 was delivered and where two wings of the mighty bombers were based. This scene will be repeated for the last time on February 12, 1959, as the last B-36 from SAC flies in salute over the city while on its way to retirement and decommissioning at Amon Carter Field, Fort Worth, Texas."
