(Chic), USAF, "I Made the First Jump", ''Popular Mechanics'', March 1955, Volume 103, Number 3, pages 88-92, 252.〕〔http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/Aircraft_by_Type/B-47.htm〕 These tests were recreated in the film, shot at Eglin in 1955, with a different Stratojet from the one in the actual missions.

"It will deal with () Air Force's work in the aero medical field and will include actual shots of experimentations with the Air Force sled being made under direction of Lt. Col. John Paul Stapp, Air Force surgeon, who appeared on the cover of the Sept. 12 () issue of ''Time'' magazine."〔Fort Walton Beach, Florida, "Movie Crew Shoots Scenes in the Area", ''Playground News'', Thursday 22 September 1955, Volume 9, Number 86, page 1.〕
