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.
