Clip starts with a closeup shot of the red cross symbol on the side of a medical transport vehicle. Then it switches to a shot of a few U.S. Marines stepping onto a bus, while one woman (possibly Kendeigh) and a few other soldiers stand on the porch of a building beside the bus. Injured Marines on stretchers are seen being carried to a Douglas R4D transport aircraft, before a closeup shot of more soldiers on stretchers lying on the ground. Then Jane Kendeigh, the first Navy flight nurse to land in an active Pacific combat zone, is seen speaking to one of the men on the ground. A few soldiers are seen being moved into another R4D transport plane, with Kendeigh watching. Then, a closeup shot of Kendeigh and another Marine examining something on a clipboard, before another stretcher is loaded onto the plane. Kendeigh is seen inside the airplane, speaking to a few of the men, some sitting and some wounded lying on beds or stretchers. Finally, a closeup of one soldier, appearing to be asleep.
Four U.S. Marines carry a wounded marine on a stretcher towards a Douglas R4D transport airplane. He is laid down in a row next to other injured soldiers on stretchers, before they are lifted, one by one, into the aircraft. A sign that reads, "Hairless Joe" is posted on the inside of the aircraft loading door. The Douglas R4D is then seen taking off.
An injured U.S. Marine with an attached plasma bag is carried on a stretcher towards a Douglas R4D transport aircraft, where he is laid down next to other injured and deceased marines. A few closeup shots of his dirty and bruised face are shown, before he is lifted into the R4D. The airplane is then seen taking off.
A Douglas R4D transport aircraft (number 245 seen on fuselage) takes off during World War 2. Jane Kendeigh, the first Navy flight nurse to land in an active Pacific combat zone, and a few U.S. Marines are inside a Douglas R4D airplane in flight, speaking to one another and taking care of injured soldiers that are lying on stretchers and beds throughout the aircraft. Kendeigh is seen next to a few loaves of bread and a plate of meat, making sandwiches. The cockpit of the airplane is shown, with its pilots speaking to one another. An injured Marine on a bed is offered something out of a bowl, and another is seen with his hand on his forehead, presumably sleeping. Finally, a few shots of soldiers sitting and standing throughout the plane, talking amongst themselves.
