★★★ · Bela Lugosi drinks liquid oxygen while fighting off the Commies in Congress! · Spuzz · 2003-12-19
In this collection.. The UN condemns China for being an agressor. Nice footage of the 1950's UN is shown as they vote. Ike goes to Europe in the next segment to get support from the Europeans for the war against Communism. Quite interesting, especially if you compare it to the more recent 'war'. Anyways, the trip is successful, everyone (except the Italians, those fascists!) likes Ike. A variety of Air clips are shown next. We first get a glimpse of new russian planes, they're almost as fast as thr US ones! uh oh! After this, battle footage is shown with the planes as they shoot korean planes…
