Hello oto!

I have a copy of Strategic Air Command whose Aspect Ratio is a little off.
The correct Aspect Ratio for my copy should be 4:3. My copy's Aspect Ratio
is 1.407. (That equates to 4.221:3.)

I checked usenet for another copy. I found one that's 24 GB in size. Not
only is it posted in a group I prefer not to frequent, but 24 GB for one
movie? Forget it.

I found another post on Sep 10 2013. Unfortunately, that has the same Aspect
Ratio as mine. Either I got my copy from this post, or the poster and I got
our files from the same source.

I found only one other possible post of this movie on usenet, and that's
going back over ten years. That was at alt.binaries.test from a poster I'm
not familiar with. It's labeled as a "TVRip." My reasoning might be wrong,
but I don't want to download that file.

Wait another 48 hours to see if someone else posts the movie. Also, since
it's a 1955 movie, I suggest you request it at the pre-1960 group. If you
haven't gotten it in 48 hours and still want the movie, let me know at the
pre-1960 group. I'll post my copy there (albeit with an incorrect Aspect
Ratio).

If I don't hear from you there, I'll assume either you no longer want the
movie, or you've gotten it elsewhere - perhaps the 24 GB version.
