Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com In 1943, U.S. Navy Commander Spencer "Seth" Warner created the "Grampaw Pettibone" character. Designed by cartoonist Robert Osborn, the character appeared in the Naval Aviation News and on various naval aviation safety posters. These often featured case studies of pilot mistakes that proved consequential if not outright fatal. The “sage of safety” campaign proved successful enough that the Navy commissioned a series of UPA studio cartoons including this one, "Dive Bombing Crashes." The film urges pilots to be aware of their altitude by conscientiously monitoring their altimeter, and not just the target, during high speed dive runs. At 2:17, Grampaw Pettibone delivers a homily stating how to do a high speed dive -- by the book.
