ROF,L.

Jack, you have clearly not seen one of the desks that we were supposed 
to hide under.  Holding a notebook over hour heads would have given 
about as much protection.

	You're both missing the real reason they were a waste of time. Sure
they may help you if you are on the outskirts of a city in which one of a
very few bombs went off, but if MAD had ever broken down then that would
not have been the scenario. The real problem would have been surviving in a
country with no functioning infrastructure, large areas of uninhabitable
radioactive waste and water borne fallout to contend with. The fictional
depictions of this scenario always struck me as being unreasonably
optimistic.

You're correct that MAD had not broken down.  The first indication that 
MAD has broken down would be missiles coming over the Pole.

So provide _one_ accunt from Hiroshima or Nagasaki that states that 
ANYBODY was protected from flash burns by hiding under something 
resembling a US elemntary school student desk.

Try the bombing of London. Roofs fall in and windows break when a bomb 
goes off near by. The desk can stop flying glass.

No, it CAN'T.  I am not talking about something that is big and steel 
that two fat people can have sex on.  I am talking about somethign with 
a top about 10x12 inches that is so fragile that  six-year-old leaning 
on it can break it.

Which is just a tad bigger than a postage stamp.

None of them were that fragile in the early 50s.

The Russians did not have deliverable nuclear weapons in the early '50s.
I think a lot of these duck and cover drills were more like the early 60's, 
and I do remember some of them.

The first of the duck and cover drills were in the very early 50s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_and_Cover_(film)

Yes, at that time the Russians couldn't have delivered any nukes
to the US, but there was enough risk to western europe to ensure
that the US would not attempt a first strike before Russia had nukes
that were deliverable to the US.

I was in 1st or 2nd grade so that makes it 1956/7.  At that time a lot of
people were building bomb shelters, too.

We had duck and cover when Ike was President. So, 1950s.

By the mid-'50s the M-4 ("Bison") jet bomber was operational. And the 
Tu-95 ("Bear") turboprop, which is still in limited service.

I definitely remember drills at the school I was at in the late '50s 
(Sputnik era). Don't remember them earlier, but I might just not remember.

That didn’t have the range to deliver nukes to much of the US.

Yeah, the movie was very early 50s.

15400 km "made these bombers the first strategic bomber capable of 
delivering its' payload into deep enemy territory and returning. "
http://fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/bomber/m-4.htm
It's 7817 km from Moscow to Washington, 6847km Warsaw to NYC, 8990km 
Kamchatka to SF. Not that I'd expect there would be a lot to return 
to, so (like the Mitchell raid on Tokyo) they could have been sent 
one-way and the crews bail out over Canada, or to be picked up by 
submarines. I expect all of the US would have been reachable from 
airfields in USSR-controlled territory.

It doesn't actually seem to have been a very successful airplane, but 
we didn't know that, and it did have the range.

The US greatly feared that the Soviets did have aircraft could
deliver nasty bombs.  They could also use Cuba as a base.

One of the effects of Pearl Harbor was the idea that we could no
longer could be complacent in our superiority or space.  That is,
we did not expect anyone to attack Pearl Harbor the way that they
did, as well as inflicting the damage they did and at so very little
cost.  So, after that, we realized could not under-estimate our
enemies again.

Another time that lesson was brought home was when we discovered the
Soviets had their own a-bomb, far, far sooner than we expected them
to attain it.

The result of all this--in the 1950s--was a great deal of hysteria and
paranoia.  The Soviets ruthless record and rhetoric didn't help matters.

I believe Eisenhower knew, as a result of the U-2 spy flights, was that
the Soviets weren't as militarily as strong as we suspected, but he
couldn't say anything.

In the 1960 election, Nixon and Kennedy were arguing who was the greater
hawk.  (Imagine if Nixon took his religious deferment, as he was eligible,
during WW II.  He wouldn't have had a chance in politics, which was a 
reason he joined the Navy, over the objections of his family.)

however, DOD/MICC was pushing the bomber gap and requested a 20%
increase in DOD budget to close the bomber gap ... Eisenhower knew from

Wasn't just the U-2s.  Earlier, the US would fly single B-47s over the 
Soviet Union.  They always came back.  Sometimes they had a few holes in 
them, but they always came back.  And that was just one plane, that 
wasn't throwing H-bombs at the Soviet air defense.

And of course the Russians kept it a big secret like they kept the
