Skids & Fiery Crashes At Sea
During the war in the Pacific, American warplanes make emergency landings on aircraft carriers. Extensive footage of men and planes in trouble. A plane that can't stop slices off the wing of another plane before skidding into the sea. Sailors react to a bomber or fighter plane that goes over the side. Another plane crashes, splits in two. A pilot emerges from the broken fuselage. A sailor waves furiously trying to direct a stricken plane. Fires, explosions, rescues. Lots of action and reality.
