Public demonstration of "fire bomb" and its use supporting U.S. Marines in the Battle of Peleliu in World War II

A flight of two F6Fs repeat the demonstration, dropping their bombs simultaneously, from a formation. Another drops a bomb on a pier at a waterfront. View to the rear from an airplane that just dropped a bomb in a wooded area.
