Landing incidents aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Guadalcanal, at sea, during World War II

Slow motion pictures of flight operations aboard the USS Guadalcanal(CVE-60)during World War 2. U.S. Navy FM-2 Wildcat lands on the Gaudalcanal but veers to left and narrowly misses the camera, as it falls partially off the flight deck and hangs over the lower walkway beside the flight deck. The aircraft sustains considerable damage, but no fire. Deck crewmen respond quickly. But fate of pilot is not evident. In another instance, a U.S. Navy SB2C Helldiver comes in high, snags a restraining cable, but lands in a crab, causing its left main gear to collapse. It ends up facing the Island, with both main gear broken, and being inched forward by tension of the arresting cable. There is no fire. Finally, several F4U Corsair fighters are seen landing satisfactorily on the flight deck. In one scene, an F4U, following behind one landing, is forced to go around.

U.S. Army soldiers march German prisoners of war through the streets of captured Munich Germany, in World War II

Large numbers of surrendered German soldiers march in loose formation along a street in Munich, Germany, a week before the end of World War 2, in Europe. Point of view (POV) shot from camera moving beside and slightly faster than the column of surrendered and captured German soldiers. A group of American soldiers riding on a Sherman tank, pass the camera. Several M-36 Jackson tank destroyers pass, also loaded with U.S. soldiers. Two German women are seated, quietly, on a parked M1 57mm gun from an Anti-Tank Company of the 222nd Infantry Regiment (42nd Rainbow Division). Saddened German civilian spectators watch the goings on from an island in the center of the street. Pedestrians, cyclists, and people moving goods on hand carts, cross on an intersecting street. The columns of surrendered German soldiers line the other street, away from the intersection. Some of the German women watching wipe tears from their eyes.
