Report from the Aleutians - John Huston documents the rugged flying conditions on Adak Island. P-38s, P-39s and B-24s take off in a foot of water to bomb Japanese outposts. A PBY crew flies a night bombing raid on a Japanese held island. (Wartime color)
Black Cats - The PBY Catalina struck terror in the Japanese Fleet in the Pacific. These patrol amphibians were converted to night bombers and dressed in black nightgowns to stalk their prey in the dead of night. (B&W, 20 min.) #00V8039
