To the Sea... A Sidewinder (2002) Full VHS Tape

"To the Sea... covers more than 5 decades of the development and evolution of the Free World’s most successful guided missile. Beginning with the experiments and feasibility studies that spawned China Lake’s ‘Heat-Homing Rocket,’ To the Sea… follows Sidewinder’s development into the ubiquitous AIM-9B and from there into a veritable legion of advancements, offshoots, and copies – including the once-secret ‘super Sidewinders,’ Diamondback, HAP, and Agile.

“To the Sea… highlights Sidewinder in combat, from its first kills over the Straits of Formosa in 1958 to its unparalleled combat record in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The story covers, too, those famous Sidewinder parties, the Bureau battles, and the Holloman shoot-off. The production also profiles Dr. William B. McLean and his technical team, as well as the full-spectrum laboratory and the unique community that fostered their creative endeavors.

“To the Sea… includes exclusive interviews with Sidewinder designers and combat shooters, along with newly released operational and test-range footage – as well as information on projects never before released to the public.

“To the Sea… was suggested by the headline of the NOTS Rocketeer of 19 October 1956 announcing that Sidewinder was officially ‘operational.’”
