Slow motion pictures of activities on the flight deck of the USS Guadalcanal (CV-60) in World War 2. An F4U Corsair airplane approaches to the port side of the USS Guadalcanal underway in the Atlantic, during World War 2. It snags the first arresting cable, but heads off the port side, until the arresting cable pulls it back onto the flight deck, narrowly missing the photographer. Spray from firefighters is seen. The pilot exits the cockpit, toward the camera. flames break out beneath the airplane, and smoke rises from the scene. Suddenly large quantities of liquid are seen spraying the scene as firefighters come closer, extinguishing the fire.

British Royal Navy Supermarine Attacker F1 aircraft is seen approaching to land on the U.S. Aircraft Carrier, USS Antietam (CVA-36) during British Navy practice carrier operations using her angled flight deck, in 1953. Anti-aircraft guns on the Antietam are seen in foreground. The aircraft bounces upon touchdown and immediately continues in a touch and go landing. Another (or the same) Supermarine aircraft repeats a similar touch and go landing. A third British Attacker aircraft approaches to land, but rounds out too high and simply goes around. The next one seen executes a perfect touch and go but the one behind it fails to "touch" before continuing, as does the next one trying a touch and go. The next one makes a smooth touch down before proceeding to go. The final scene shows a Supermarine Attacker F1 aircraft touching down and staying there, in a full stop landing employing arresting gear.
