    Interesting WW2 US Navy Carrier film.

    Some interesting images here.

    With regards to the commentary, please bear in mind the context of when this archive film was made, i.e. the world was in the midst of "total war".

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I wouldn't worry, the other side said, thought and did far worse, and in some cases still does.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Lotta those propaganda films were made by Hollywood professionals. I've seen a lot of that footage in other propaganda films and in Hollywood movies. Lot of the carrier deck scenes in Tora, Tora, Tora and other came directly from propaganda films. The scene where Charlie Heston dies in a crash was real footage.
