An alarm is raised after a fire starts in a hangar space aboard an aircraft carrier.

Hangar space fire fighting methods installed aboard an aircraft carrier. Man spots fire in the hangar space. He turns on the hangar space sprinkler system and hangar water curtain system. High capacity foam monitors are actuated. Deck officer notified about the fire and fire alarm is raised. Hangar fire doors closed. Fire fighters use water hoses to put off the fire. Isolated electric circuits used. Flow of air in the hangar is stopped. Men wear proximity fire suits and breathing apparatus. Water and foam lines gradually put off the hangar fire. A quick recap of all the fire fighting methods used to fight the hangar fire.

Flames are extinguished after an airplane catches fire while landing on an aircraft carrier.

Firefighting methods installed to fight a fire aboard the deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Aircraft lands aboard the deck of the carrier. Foam and water lines laid aboard the deck. Men in fire proximity suits stand by for pilot rescue in case of a fire. Aircraft catches fire while performing landing operation. Foam and water lines sprayed to put off the fire. Men in fire proximity suits rush to evacuate the pilot. The pilot pulled off from the burning cockpit. Aircraft lands on the deck and emits smoke. Firefighters spray water and foam in the bomb-bay of the aircraft to prevent an explosion in the aircraft's ammunition. Firefighting devices installed in hangar space of the carrier such as water-foam hoses, sprinkler system, hangar water curtain system, and metal fire doors. Scenes of firefighting abroad the aircraft carrier. Aircraft explodes while landing.

"Scramble horn," at Offut AFB, that sounds when SAC alert aircrews must rush to their aircraft.

Strategic Air Command (SAC) Headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Views of the so-called "Scramble Horn." When sounded, SAC aircrews, standing alert, must immediately respond to their aircraft ready to take off on a mission. The horn, atop wooden beams, near power lines, appears approximately 5 feet in diameter and resembles a power line insulator.

Communication waves and the relation between power transmitted and received in Space Communications

United States Air Force training film about Space Communications and the related problems and developments. Animation: Planets, remotely controlled unmanned space research vehicles in space. Space communication links between the vehicles and Earth. Radio waves are reflected, refracted and absorbed. An antenna radiates waves that are dispersed. Communication and light waves on the frequency spectrum. Groundwave and Skywave transmission explained. Skywave transmission reflected back to Earth by the ionized layers in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Bouncing of signal in optimal conditions. Spacewave travels from transmitting to receiving antenna, and travels unaffected through the ionosphere into outer planetary space. Depicts laws that govern Line of Sight transmission: Relation between power transmitted and power received, and ideal and regular conditions. Explains the factors involved in the relation between the power transmitted and received. Comparison of communication and light waves. Inverse Square Law explained. The law applied to Space Communication: Signal generated from point source, energy dispersed in shape of sphere, energy spreads over expanding spherical area. Outlines a practical approach to strengthen received power: Directing the radiating energy, and enlarging area of the receiving antenna.
