Deep within the country Oklahomans have always believed they had more to fear from a storm than an invading army. But for the 45 years of the cold war, Oklahoma was high on the Soviet hit list. From 1949 to 1991 every Oklahoman lived just twenty minutes away from nuclear annihilation. The Russian military watched western Oklahoma carefully because they knew our state was home to hundreds of hydrogen bombs. OETA's award winning documentary series Back in Time examines a dangerous period in our state's history when bomber crews scrambled from the flight-line and Oklahoma military bases were a Cold War Target.
