G. W. Goddard

The relation between the various Air Corps units is explained, and the many uses to which motion pictures are put in instruction and training, technical studies, maintenance and inspection of aircraft, etc., are described. — Slow-motion pictures have proved very valuable for investigating the causes and progress of fire in airplanes, the operation of parachutes, the effectiveness of demolition of bombing, etc. Lectures recorded with the pictures explain the operations of blind flying, loading bombing racks, releasing bombs, and the like.
