USAF C-119 aircraft and crews practice space capsule recovery in the Discoverer program

Several C-119J aircraft of the U.S. Air Force 6593rd Test Squadron (Special) take off in succession from Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, on missions to develop and test capability to snag space capsules parachuting to earth from satellites in orbit. (Note: The mission of the 6593rd Test Squadron was to recover film capsules returning to earth from orbiting Corona photoreconnaissance satellites, during the 1960s. Their JC-119s had "beavertail" doors that could be opened in flight [unlike clamshell doors that had to be left behind for open-door operations in other C-119s]. All American Engineering Company installed the special recovery equipment in the squadron's aircraft. The 6593rd Squadron accomplished the first successful mid-air recovery of an object from an orbiting satellite, on 19 August 1960, when they captured a film capsule released in the Corona Discoverer 14 Satellite mission.)

Manufacture and deployment of Boeing B-29 Super Fortress bombers during World War II

Film beginning shows a line of Indian women carrying large wooden bowls on their heads as they walk past a line of Boeing B-29 Super Fortress bombers parked on an airfield ramp in India during World War 2. A B-29 bomber descends and lands on the airfield runway. Scene shifts to the Boeing factory at Wichita, Kansas, where most of the aircraft were manufactured during World War 2. (They were also made by Bell Aircraft Company in Atlanta (Marietta), Georgia, and by the Glenn L. Martin Company in Omaha, Nebraska.) In the Wichita plant, a large room filled with B-29s under construction is seen. A line of women uses hand power tools to finish aircraft parts. A large section of a B-29, including landing gear and tires, moves by overhead crane to be mated with another section in an assembly operation. Men manually push a landing gear with tires installed, along a floor. Workers walk along underneath an assembled B-29 as it is towed out of the factory. Tail view of a B-29 with engines running. View of man working on a B-29 tail rudder. Wing flaps being lowered in function check. Scene shifts, again, this time to China, where a line of B-29s is seen on a ramp at a secret base. A jeep drives under the left wing of a parked B-29, guarded by an armed Chinese sentry. Chinese laborers work with hand tools to make a ditch to drain water from the airfield ramp. Chinese workers unload and roll 55 gallon drums of gasoline for aircraft fueling. A Chinese name (Ding How!)painted on the fuselage of a B-29. Major General Claire Chennault shakes hands with some of a B-29s crew as they prepare to depart on a bombing mission. A Chinese soldier gives the crew a "thumbs up" sendoff. The B-29 takes off on the mission. a group of airmen sit atop a B-29 to watch the takeoffs. Camera focuses on another takeoff and then shows a B-29 aloft, glinting in sunlight and then cruising above clouds. Glimpse of B-29 flying over snow covered mountains (possibly in Japan).
