World War II scenes of German Stuka dive bombers in operation. U.S. B-25 bomber in flight, and views of firestorms from Allied incendiary bombing of Axis targets. Scenes of the "Operation Firestop" project in 1954-55, in California. U.S. Forest Service and other agencies cooperate in a one-year project headquartered at Camp Pendleton, California. Aerial views of Camp Pendleton area, in Southern California. A modified Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bomber in flight discharges water from its torpedo bays. Men installing fabric water container into the bomb bay of the TBM. The aircraft seen in low level pass, dropping water contents onto field. Cropduster pilot Floyd Nolta, seen flying his Stearman biplane over California landscape, and then taxiing in to park, after landing. On the ground, we see how he modified his airplane to release water from a hopper in its bottom. On August 13, Vance Nolta flies the Stearman on multiple sorties, dropping water on a fire in the Mendecino Forest. Nolta filling his water tank from a hose at Willow Airport, and dropping water from the air, above the fire. View at Willow Airport, of 7 Stearman and N3N airplanes modified for aerial firefighting. Views of these aircraft dropping chemically treated water from the air. TBM aircraft equipped with 400 gallon tanks drop water from the air. PBY flying boat seen in flight. A B-26 bomber passing low and dropping chemically treated water. A U.S. Navy Martin Mars flying boat passing overhead. The aircraft drops water from a 7000 gallon tank.

A report on United States Air Force C-123B assault transport aircraft performance in field assault condition and loading tests at various air bases in the United States. An airman sets up equipment for test at Eglin AFB in Florida. The airman standing beside a USAF truck notes down on a paper. The airman walks along a rugged field where C-123B successfully landed. Members of the crew board a C-123B. The aircraft takes off from very rough and sandy ground. A U.S. Air Force cameraman records as the aircraft takes off. The airman talks over a radio. The C-123B lands over a 50 feet obstacle. It lands successfully in an excessive nose-down altitude. A load test on a C-123B at Pope AFB in North Carolina. The cargo door of the C-123B opens up.

Two C-123Bs land on a dirt strip. U.S. troops board a C-123B. Litter patients loaded into a C-123B at a simulated front line casualty station. The C-123B takes off from the dirt strip.
United States experimental North American X-10 aircraft operating from Edwards Air Force Base, California, United States
North American experimental unmanned X-10 aircraft sitting on runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, United States. It displays conventional tricycle landing gear, canard at nose, and twin tail. It is powered by two Westinghouse J-40 turbojet engines, whose intakes are visible on both sides of the fuselage. Aircraft seen during computer-controlled takeoff roll with fairly steep nose attitude. View of it breaking ground, in about 20 degree nose up attitude, with landing gear still extended. Cloud of dust left on ground behind the aircraft. The X-10 in flight, cleaned up, with gear retracted. A chase plane seen below and behind, briefly. The X-10 coming in for landing with landing gear extended. It touches down in nose high attitude, creating dust trail and slowly lowers to have nose gear contact ground, and a drag chute deployed.
U.S. Air Force North American X-10 unmanned research aircraft, on the ground, and in the air, at Edwards Air Force Base
U.S. Air Force, North American X-10, experimental aircraft being towed by a tug, at Edwards Air Force Base, California, United States. Tow tug moves the aircraft in a circle, allowing views from all sides. Of particular note is lack of a cockpit (the aircraft is unmanned), and the presence of a canard at the nose of the aircraft. View of aircraft on takeoff roll, in nose high attitude, raising a dust cloud, as it accelerates. View of X-10, cruising aloft, with canard and landing gear retracted. The minimal delta wing is visible from below. The aircraft, in nose high attitude, with landing gear extended, in flight and then cleaned up and cruising, again.
