They roll it and position it underneath the wing of a B-17. Closeup of them jacking up the dolley to position the GT-1. View of the torpedo secured under the aircraft. Gun camera footage shows a GT-1 on a long glide towards the water, after release from above. View from water surface of the GT-1 approaching the water. At the last moment, its paravane (wing) separates and the torpedo contacts the water. The paravane falls aside into the water. The camera pans over to a makeshift target.
