Aircraft Carrier Footage (http://www.avgeeks.com/wp2/aircraft-carrier-footage/). This is an excerpt from what looks like a WWII film about aircraft carriers, specifically how the deck workers help the planes land. I’m wondering if anybody knows what film this was from, as even just this excerpt has tons of historical interest. The camera is positioned from the point of view of the deck workers, so it really feels like you are there with them. The narration is sparse, but helpful in explaining what you are seeing, Too bad it looks like the rest of this film may be lost.
Rating: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: ****.
