Camera shifts attention to U.S. Army P-47E aircraft parked near the runway. Tents are pitched nearby and mountains are in the background. The P-40s display the characteristic yellow propeller spinners of the 11th Pursuit Squadron, “Aleutian Tigers,” but do not display more elaborate tiger markings. Back at the R4D, one of the Navy crew is checking passenger names as they board the aircraft. Next, the R4D transport plane is seen starting number 1 engine (#2 is already running).
