The original release sheet reads: Narrated by Chet Huntley, "Solid Punch" graphically illustrates the technological advances made in the development of solid rocket fuels. These fuels, the result of close cooperation between the Armed Forces and American Industry, have greatly increased the transportability of our Tactical missiles and have simplified their firing procedures. This interesting documentary traces the history pf the U.S. Army missiles and shows examples of their types, uses, and versatility. As a public service, this program concludes with a one-minute U.S. Army Recruiting Service trailer.
