The meaning and relevance of this movie's title Bombers B-52 is that it is a rewording of the name for the B-52 Bomber aircraft. They actually have the technical name of being known as "Boeing B-52 Stratofortress" aircraft. These airplanes are American subsonic jet-powered strategic long-range bomber aircraft which were initiated by the USAF (United States Air Force) in 1955. This movie was released in 1957 soon after when these aircraft were very new to the world of aviation.
During production shooting of this movie, actress Natalie Wood was nicknamed "Miss Stratosphere of 1957" by the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command whilst in Merced County, Wood was also given the pet name of "Sweetheart of Castle Air Force Base" by that Californian US Air Force base.
Herlihy drives a 1956 Ford Thunderbird. The car given to Lois as a gift from her dad is a 1956 Ford convertible. The staff cars seen on the AFB are all 1956 Chevrolets.
This movie is a Warner Brother official studio tribute to the B-52 Stratofortress bomber air craft and the United States Air Force.
The new at-the-time B-52 Stratofortress bomber airplanes as featured in this movie weighed 500,000 pounds and could fly at a speed of 650+ miles per hour and travel 17,000 miles without actually stopping, according to a review in 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
