"Unknown Training Film" (circa 1940's) - Pencil Storyboards

I know I posted these before, but I could not quickly find them. Instead of spending more time looking, I'll just re-post these from an unknown training film...

Training Film Storyboards

Nice shot showing the tracers as the plane does the approach. At first, I thought the lines were the waves being cut by the ship, but then noticed the smoke from the guns...


Good rendition of a 45-degree bank toward the target though the gun sight. I first thought the plane was getting ready for two targets on the lower left. Then noticed the "cloud" on the water surface -- which was probably the aftermath of a previous run. The fighter could still turn and dive toward the two ships, but the line seemed to be toward the cloud. That being said, I'd hate to be the pilot flying over two enemy ships. I'd rather set up on the closest ship... But what do I know.


A great example showing the closing rate between a fighter and bomber... Gives new meaning to "playing chicken."
