Made in 1950, this U.S. Navy recruitment film focuses on the training of naval aviators at Pensacola, Florida. It exposes new recruits to the training process and day to day activities for a Navy flier. They go over the general over view of the training and list the individual components of the program. It is aimed at encouraging new recruits to take the program seriously so that they can reap the rewards or risk being grounded. Fairly straight forward, non-technical intro to training style film.
The film starts with newspaper headlines from May 1942 and the Battle of the Coral Sea, newsreels about WWII, and the narrator Philip speaks about his personal motivation to avenge his brother’s death by joining the military.
Phillip is shown with buddies from college in Naval classes followed by physical conditioning. Military training, swimming and lots of playing sports.
Navy regulation texts, Engineering, meteorology, and latest technologies to simulate flight prior to actually flying. Octants and sextants, crash landing techniques and survival training.
