Navy Grumman F4F aircraft in landing incidents on USS Makassar Strait (CVE-91) during training cruise off Hawaii.
Aboard the USS Makassar Strait (CVE-91) during training cruise off Hawaii, in 1944. Views of several landing accidents. A Grumman F4F touches down and veers left , partially falling off the flight deck. Another noses over upon landing. Three make rough landings.

Officers, equipment and instruments at a newly opened underground civil control defense center near Wheaton, Illinois
A civil control defense center and bunker designed to withstand a near direct nuclear blast opens near Wheaton, Illinois, during the Cold War.

Navy training film about proper handling of jet airplanes on U.S. aircraft carriers
Training film about handling of jet aircraft aboard U.S. aircraft carriers. Introductory scenes show a U.S. Navy F9F-2 jet, of Squadron VF-51, landing on the aircraft carrier, USS Essex (CV-9). Scene shifts to U.S. Marine Corps McDonnell F2H Banshee jets, with tail codes LC, and folded wings, on carrier deck. A flight of four F9F panther jets flies past a carrier. They peel off to land. (They have no tip tanks.) Jet aircraft being moved about on carrier deck. Scene shifts to Vought F4U Corsair aircrafton a carrier. Then a Douglas A-1 Skyraider, tail code M, takes off. Carrier flight deck diagram is shown with typical layouts for positioning jet and conventional aircraft. Jets are then shown being catapulted in pairs. A diagram compares Jet and conventional landing patterns. A skyraider aircraft takes a wave-off without delay. An F9F lands forced to commit earlier than the conventional aircraft. A series of jet landings are shown. An F2H Banshee jet receives a wave-off and must go around. It runs out of fuel and crashes into water, just short of the carrier. Next, helicopter with rescued pilot seen on deck. More views of jets being moved toward elevator on carrier. An F2H coming up on elevator. Blue shirt plane handlers moving, securing, and guiding a taxiing jet. A yellow shirt signalling to catapult a jet. Jets landing closer to one another. Purple shirts refueling a jet on carrier deck.
Navy film about proper handling of jet airplanes on U.S. aircraft carriers
Blue shirts moving Marine F2H Banshee aircraft with folded wings, on flight deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier. They roll one by pushing on the leading edge, without rocking the aircraft. Diagram shows tendency of jets to rock fore and aft. They use a tug to move a jet forward only. Blue shirts rolling one back to allow forward towing. An F2H being taxied with wings folded. Blue shirts position one pointing aft overboard to minimize blast from engine during start. Wheels being chocked.
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.
