Watch The Big Picture - This is Fourth Army

Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's "The Big Picture" television series, 1950-1975. This is the fourth program in a special series of guided tours through the continental armies of America. In this film presentation, THE BIG PICTURE camera travels through the area of Fourth Army. The marked contrast between the Army today, which employes weapons such as guided missiles, and that of a century ago, can be clearly seen as many historic relics of Americans' westward expansion are visited. Coverage will be given to the big guns of the Artillery, to the development and testing of guided missiles and to the training program of Army Aviation.
