Record Breaker: The B-58 Hustler Story DVD Volume 2
* B-58 Hustler First Test Flight On Veterans Day, Nov 11th, 1956 Convair's revolutionary
delta wing B-58 "Hustler" supersonic bomber took to the skies for the
first time -- and you'll see it all
in this memorable color film
* B-58 Hustler: Swift, Capable, Versatile, Operational! This a film report from the US Air Force on the progress of
the B-58 Program was produced by the Convair Division of General
Dynamics in January 1961. Highlights include B-58 crews scrambling from
their '58 Chevy to get their Hustler airborne; the 18th Sept, 1959 low
level capability demonstration flight from Texas to California
averaging over 600 kts at altitudes below 500', and 43rd
Bomb Wing B-58s win SAC's 1960 Combat Competition, defeating 24 other
aircraft in both high & low level bombing classifications. Outstanding color B-58 Hustler footage throughout!
* Airplane 11: The First B-58 Trainer The
first trainer version of the Hustler, the TB-58, was delivered by
General Dynamics to the US Air Force in August, 1960, the first of
eight R&D aircraft (this was "aircraft 11" in the series) converted
for that purpose. The biggest change involved converting the
Bomber/Navigator station (2nd seat aft) to a pilot/instructors
compartment with instrumentation and controls.Highlights include great
footage of the colorfully painted TB 58 training version in operation.
* Open Road III: B-58 MITO Tests During the depths of the Cold War, SAC bombers had only 15
to 20-minutes to get airborne between the launch of enemy missiles and
their arrival at US targets. That meant that the ability get US air
forces on their way quickly and efficiently was absolutely essential
for survivability, striking power and deterrence. A critical element
in this quick response was "MITO" - "Minimum Interval Take-Off." This
involved determining the optimum interval between the launching
aircraft to achieve the fastest possible deployment.
There's some beautiful B-58 take-off footage here.
* B-58 Ejection System Development The
B-58 was the first aircraft capable of operating at sustained
supersonic speeds at very high altitudes. That posed new problems for
crew ejection and survivability. This film, produced by General
Dynamics and the US Air Force, shows the unique challenges in ejecting
from the B-56 and the solutions that were developed over time.
* Escape and Survive Developed by B-58 capsule subcontractor and ejection seat
pioneer Stanley Aviation, this film focuses on the design, manufacture
and testing of the capsule itself.
* Convair TB-58A "Hustler" Flight Manual
Rare supplementary manual for the TB-58A, the training version of the Hustler.

Record Breaker: The B-58 Hustler Story DVD Volume 1
A pilot once said of the B-58, "She
looked like she was breaking the sound barrier just sitting on the
tarmac." The B-58 wasn't just one of the fastest bombers

14 speed and performance records, many previously held by Soviet
aircraft.
