About this film
Short U.S. Navy carrier aviation film created by the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Marines for the U.S. Treasury's 7th War Bond Drive. Not in the greatest shape. National Archives description "Shows activities aboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean as damaged planes return from a mission. A plane lands with one wheel. Another skids off the landing deck and hangs on the side of the ship. The third plane slides off the deck into the ocean, killing the pilot. States the cost of the plane and the cost of the pilot's training, but points out that a human life cannot be measured in dollars. Indicates that the mission of civilians at home is to purchase war bonds."
