Deck crews aboard a U.S. Aircraft Carrier handle aircraft and prepare them for catapulting.
U.S. Marine Corps McDonnell F2H Banshee jet airplane being guided by a Yellow shirt. Scene shifts to animated diagrams interspersed with actual pictures. They show narrower tires used on jets giving lower braking friction and less lateral stability. One is shown in sketch, being blown over by jet blast. Sketch illustrates jet intake suction and reward blast. Deck crewman removing loose tools from pockets and fastening chin strap and goggles on his helmet, to avoid loose items being sucked up or blown about on deck and protect himself from jet blast. A Marine Corps Captain, pilot, climbs aboard his F2H airplane and deck crewman moves out of line of fire from plane's weapons. Next, a Navy F2H of Attack Squadron 12 (VA-12), Carrier Wing One (Tail code "T") is seen being readied to depart. Deck crew has already pulled the duct covers and pilot is in the cockpit. A 3-wheeled starting "jeep" containing an auxiliary power unit provides power for engine start and then pulls away. Fire fighter standing by in protective gear is seen. Deck crew pull chocks and aircraft taxis guided by yellow shirt who gives signals to spread wings and lower flaps. Yellow shirts guide jets to catapults for takeoff. Yellow shirt Plane Director uses various hand signals to guide pilot. Deck crew scramble underneath the aircraft an set it on the catapult.
Training film explains techniques for catapulting jet aircraft from U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
Film illustrating proper technique for catapulting jet aircraft from U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Yellow shirt officer signals for catapult launch of a U.S. Navy F2H Banshee airplane, aboard an aircraft carrier. The aircraft is catapulted. Film recounts sequence of actions leading up to catapulting of a jet airplane from a carrier. A yellow shirt catapult officer guides the pilot as green shirt catapult gear crewmen adjust the bridle. Others secure the hold-back cable. View of hold-back cable and its slip catch with metal ring that breaks when the catapult is fired. A cover is installed to prevent parts of the ring from being flying loose and injuring someone or being ingested by a jet engine. View of an F2H being catapulted. Pilot given brakes off signal and catapult bridle is tensioned. Catapult officer coordinates with deck-edge crewman who monitoring catapult situation lights controlled by crew in catapult ready room below deck. When they signal "final ready," pilot applies full power and signals when at 100%. After final check, catapult officer on deck gives signal and the plane is launched. Views of jet aircraft being catapulted in pairs. Film illustrates procedures for handling "duds," when pilot signals a problem on the catapult. Pilot and deck officers hand signals are shown. Deck crewmen swarm over the aircraft and rapidly push it off and away from the catapult. Focus shifts safety regarding use of deck elevator. Views of more jets being catapulted at 35 second intervals.
U.S. Navy Training film about recovering aircraft that return to carriers, at sea.
Film illustrating proper technique for recovering jet aircraft as they return to land on U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. A U.S. Navy F2H Banshee airplane lands on carrier flight deck. View of green shirt arresting gear deck crewman greasing an arresting cable to reduce friction for higher speed engagement in jet landings. More views of F2Hs landing. One fails to engage any of seven restraining cables and crashes into the barrier. An F6F airplane engaging cables as it lands on a carrier. View of jet nose passing under top cable of conventional barrier. "Davis"-type barrier used for jet airplanes. View of jet that passed all barriers and crashed into other aircraft. The deck covered in foam from firefighters. View of a Banshee jet crashing, bursting into flames, and falling in pieces off the flight deck. Deck crewmen surround a jet after engaging a Davis barrier. They disengage cables and push the aircraft clear of the deck. Arresting gear deck crewmen seen stowing a damaged Davis barrier. Adapting conventional barriers for use with jets by lowering them. More F2H landings. Landing signal officer with paddles. View from carrier deck of jet on final approach. View from an aircraft on final approach. F2H landing on the USS Coral Sea (CV-43). Taxiing after landing. An F9F that passed the barriers, being stopped and signalled to fold wings. Animated sketches of jet aircraft rocking and tilting. Deck crewmen chocking wheels and latching nosewheels. Firefighters foaming a jet when its engines would not shut down, and fuel continued to flow. View of damaged jet engine turbine wheel. An F6F landing on the carrier. F4U Corsairs, with folded wings, being moved by tug on deck. Views of poisonous lead compound powder on inside of jet engine tailpipe. Maintenance crewmen waxing wings of jet aircraft. Red shirt armament crewmen rearming a jet. Purple shirt aviation fuel crewmen refueling jets, mixing jet engine fuel with oil and spreading wings to refuel tip tanks. Use of a special wing-side ladder to refuel tip tanks on jets where permissable. Diagram of carrier illustraing proper method of spotting jets and conventional aircraft on deck. A Marine F2H being brought up on elevator. Deck crewmen pushing a jet backwards. Summary of jet handling techniques, with brief glimpses of actions being described. Formation of jet planes flying overhead.
Instrumentation of Operation Greenhouse at Los Alamos in New Mexico.
View of the town of Los Alamos in New Mexico, United States. Officials inside the Los Alamos National Labratory (LANL) of the Atomic Enegry Commission of United States. Scenes of scientists working at the LANL. Aerial view of the Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Officials of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and the Atomic Energy Commision, in a joint meeting, collectively map Operation Greenhouse. Joint Task Force Three. Men from government agencies,colleges and universities throughout America work to instrument this operation. Aerial shots of the Perry Islands ( U.S. transport and scientists base) and the Eniwetok Atoll (US Army and Air Force base). U.S. Navy ship anchored at the lagoon. Scenes of laboratories and scientific structures on the islands.
Atomic bomb test of Operation Greenhouse on the Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
Atomic bomb test (Operation Greenhouse) on the Enewetak Atoll (sometimes spelled Eniwetok or Eniewetok) in the Marshall Islands. Animation shows the effects of an atomic blast. Men suspend various reading instruments from a bomb-shaped plastic balloon that will provide valuable readings at the time of atomic blast. Banks of high speed cameras are planted close to the tower holding the fissionable material (Zero Tower). Radioactive measuring instruments are planted on the islands. Scientists and technicians perform a last minute check of the necessary instruments before leaving the island. A view of the Zero Tower. Men leave the island and detonate the bomb. Mushroom cloud of the atomic blast at a distance. Men in boats at a safe distance watch the explosion wearing protective eye glasses.
American outpost built at the Enewetak Atoll in Marshall Islands for atomic testing.
Covers events relating to the Operation Greenhouse atomic tests. Shows U.S. troops and men at an American outpost at Enewetak Atoll (sometimes spelled Eniwetok or Eniewetok) in Marshall Islands. A water pumping station on the island. Boats and small planes provide transport facility on the island. The test island serve as a learning ground to U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. Tanks fitted with measuring instruments are stationed near the Zero Tower to measure the radioactivity ,heat and pressure generated at the time of blast. Reinforced concrete buildings are build to withstand the atomic blast. Test objects like an airplane wing and fuselage section are positioned to study the effect of blast on them. U.S. parachute troopers stand beside a transport plane. Commander and his crew at the Joint Task Headquarters in Perry Islands,USA, make final decisions before the atomic test on Enewetak. Unmanned B-17s and fighter jets take off at night to collect valuable information during the blast. View of the atomic bomb explosion and its effect on the buildings at the test island.
