P-40 aircraft peeling off, diving, and performing aerobatics in flight over Hawaii.

Views of 18 U.S. Army Curtiss-Wright P-40B aircraft (sometimes termed Tomahawk or Warhawk, though Warhawk properly applies to later variants than these) from Pursuit Squadrons at Wheeler Field, in formation flight over Hawaii. They are filmed from an airborne B-17D Flying Fortress. The P-40s peel off, one at a time. One P-40 performs aerobatics, executing two rapid rolls for the camera. During those rolls it is evident that, in addition to fuselage insignia, the aircraft displays national insignia only on its lower right and its upper left wings, in accordance with a scheme adopted in February, 1941. Footage is from before America's entry into World War 2.

Scenes of American forces in France at conclusion of World War I, Christmas gifts, and immediate postwar period

Several u.S. Army soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) stand near three French children, outside a church building in France, during World War 1. A large relief of Christ on crucifix is displayed on the wall behind them. One soldier kneels down next to the children and gives them some chocolates. He talks with them. Closeup of the children eating their candy. A boy wipes his hands on his sweater. The children make circles on their tummies, indicating that the food tasted good. New sequence shows American Army of occupation troops celebrating Christmas, 1918, at Montabaur, Germany. They are assembled at a hillside, around a platform holding a monument and statue. A large decorated Christmas tree is set up on one side of the monument, and an Army brass band stands on the other side. Captain William A. Turner, of the Salvation Army, dressed as Santa Claus, hands out gifts to some of the soldiers, assembled in the foreground. There also appear to be some local German people gathered to the far right, of the brass band. Next, "Santa Claus" is seen throwing gifts out to the gathered soldiers. Scene shifts, again, this time to several U.S. Navy dreadnought battleships that might be returning troops from Europe back to the United States. The first seen is a two-stacker, Florida-class; the second is the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) and the third is the two-stacker USS New York (BB-34). Final sequence shows U.S. Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels, and Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, in top hats, stand on deck of a ship with with its Captain (a U.S. Navy Commander) to review U.S. Battleships returning from service with the British fleet in World War 1. The dim image of a battleship is seen in the background. (World War I; World War 1; WWI; WW1)
