You wouldn't be typing this if SAC got to shoot theirs.



What's that old squadron song? "Will I Go Boom Today"?


Mortimer Schnerd, RN

The song to which you refer was popular in Macdill in the 1940s to 1960s.

"Will you go boom today? Will you go boom today? We lost one yesterday, it
landed in the bay."

The song varies by aircraft type.

There was a song about the B-36 sung to the tune of Battle Hymn of the
Republic:

"The B-36 it flies at forty thousand feet, the B-36 flies at forty thousand
feet. THe B-36 it flies at forty thousand feet, but it only has a teensy,
weensy bomb."
