My favorite line from the whole movie was when they got off the C-97 coming back from Thulie, Greenland, the General lit up a cigar while standing next to the airplane. One of the ground crew turned to Jimmy Stewart and asked "doesn't he know that the airplane might blow up?" and Jimmy says...
"It wouldn't dare!"
That's supposedly based on an actual incident with Gen. Curtis LeMay. The book Aluminum Overcast has a whole chapter on the film.
