Machine guns being tested on French aircraft during World War I. Brief shot of Eddie Rickenbacker in his Nieuport 28

Opening scene shows a French Salmson 2 aircraft with front wheels chocked in a concrete pit and its tail supported to maintain the aircraft level during test firing of its machine gun. Mechanics surround the plane. Its engine is running. A mechanic leans over the Vickers .303 caliber machine gun installed at the front cockpit. (It is synchronized so as to fire through the propeller while the engine is running, however it is not being fired at this time.) Scene shifts to closeup view from front cockpit of engine with cowling covers removed. Gun sight and a scope are seen. Camera pans down revealing top of the cockpit instrument panel where needle/ball, airspeed, clock, and some engine instruments are visible. Glimpse of a side-mounted Vickers machine gun firing on a French Breguet 14. Next, Lieutenant Eddie Rickenbacker (prior to October, 1918, when he was promoted to Captain) is seen in cockpit of his parked Nieuport 28 aircraft. He manipulates the two Vickers machine guns installed on his plane (but does not fire them). Scene shifts to the French Breguet 14, seen firing machine gun, earlier. It is being towed backwards, up and out of the testing pit. (Minor Note: Rickenbacker's 94th Aero Squadron had their Neuports replaced by Spads in July 1918, so the brief scene showing him was shot before then.

Step-by-step views of American gun crew towing, setting up, and firing a 155mm gun in World War I

Soldiers of American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) operating a Caterpillar-Holt model 75 tractor in World War 1. They display a large American flag, as they tow a French 155mm gun ( Canon de 155 Grande Puissance Filloux (GPF) mle.1917). They move along a dirt road and stop near some trees, where they are joined by other U.S. soldiers who begin preparing the gun for operation. Two soldiers pry a steel cover from the rear of the gun. It falls to the ground, where they pick it up by suspending it on a steel bar. One jacks up the carrier as several soldiers remove the limber from under the gun trails. Two teams of soldiers spread the trails of the gun. Next, two gunners are seen cranking controls to adjust azimuth and elevation of the gun. A gunner wipes clean a shell for the gun. One soldier holds the shell upright as another screws a fuse into the nose. Gun crew rams charge into breech of the gun with a ramrod and another secures the breech, as gunners make final adjustments to elevation. All step away, as one fires the gun with a lanyard. Then the crewmen rush back to ready the gun again. (World War I; World War 1; WWI; WW1)
