NASA investigators pore over data related to the Apollo 1 command module fire on January 27, 1967. They discuss computer printouts showing graphical depictions of conditions during the event. Document control practice is shown with persons logging them in and out with a custodian. Engineers place long computer printouts on a white board. Many make notes and annotate documents.

Scenes of three Navy Grumman wildcat (F4F) airplanes crash landing on the USS Makassar Strait (CVE-91) during a training cruise off Hawaii, in 1944.
