Otherwise a rather dry orientation film for defense contractor insiders, there's some footage here of the North American F-107A, with its strange air intake mounted on top of the fuselage. Only three of these aircraft were ever built. Other than the flying sequences, just lots of engineers looking at blueprints and Air Force white papers.
