National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569672 / Local Identifier 111-TV-404 Big Picture: Missiles on Target DVD Copied by Katie Filbert - Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). The story of how missiles hit their targets told on "THE BIG PICTURE" -- Today most television viewers have seen the drama of the launching pad when a long range missile is fired into the air. An orange surge of flame, a thunderous bellow of sound, then up it goes until as far as the naked eye is concerned it disappears into the skies. What then? Today's episode in THE BIG PICTURE is the story of "What Then?" It is the story of how long range missiles streak through the air to strike unerringly even a small target a long distance away. The film documentary begins a few miles from the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico one morning not long ago. As pointed out in the narration of the film, at the White Sands Proving Ground and other areas an elaborate, all-out testing and development effort is being pushed ahead daily. Not only are steps being taken to put long range missiles into the air and speed them vast distances, but if need be, to place their awesome destructive power squarely on the target.
