From a U.S. Army Air Force Training film, "How to Fly the P-47. Pilot Familiarization." United States pilot seated on table writes a postcard to his mother, "Mrs D.Q. Hopkins. 1024 Clay Avenue, Pelham, New York" Board in the background with 'Daily Assignment of today' written on it. Scene shifts to forward view from cockpit of a Republic P-47 aircraft flying low over the flight line at an Air Base. Momentary glimpse of the pilot and his post card in the office. Back again, to forward view from cockpit of a P-47, but this time it is on final approach to the runway. Scene shifts to ground view of a P-47 landing. It taxis to the ramp and parks. The crew chief stands on the wing as the pilot completes and signs the aircraft's Form 1 (record of any problems). Five pilots walk past the flight line. The pilot, wearing a seat pack parachute, climbs down from the cockpit. The five pilots, seen earlier, approach, and one introduces them to the P-47 pilot (Captain Hopkins). They are Lieutenants assigned to his training flight. He greets them and shakes hands with all. The group ask questions about the P-47. Then they all go to the pilots room. As Captain Hopkins takes off his flight gear he tells them the P-47 is designed to operate at high altitude. He describes the P-47, referencing a large illustration of it on the wall.
