I remember reading about the small, flat toy soldiers in the past during my "research" about "7 Gigantic Dinosaurs for $1.00" (balloons) that appeared in comic books.
I found some pictures of the various footlockers. Nosco Plastics of Erie, PA most likely was the manufacturer. However, one of the B-47s is green and clearly says "Made in Hong Kong" on it. It came in a box with ZIP codes so it must have been after 1963. The author shows a "Micronauts" comic book that dates to 1979 so the toys either are not as old as they appear or else they had a long production life.
Further research is necessary!

I found some photos and information of the Plasticraft YB-60, of which I was unaware, and it is a nice-looking plane.
