The film begins with footage of a WWI pilot getting into his plane, taking off, and being immediately shot down. The antics continue with Hollywood footage of World War I, with burning balloons, dog fights, shoot downs and crashing aircraft. The Hindenburg is seen exploding at the 5 minute mark, followed at 6:30 with multiple shots from WWII of aircraft crashing into carrier decks. At the 9:45 mark the scene switches to Edwards Air Force Base where a Navajo cruise missile is seen making a bellflop landing, and a Bomarc goes astray. A rocket engine failure is seen at 11:05, with spectacular results. At 11:20, a rocket test stand endures a failure. At 11:50, an F-104 Starfighter slides down the runway at Edwards and rolls over, followed at 12:19 by the B-59 Hustler with blown out tires landing on the tarmac at Edwards. A rocket test stand explosion is seen at 15:00, and at 15:43 an ejection seat test is seen. At 16:10, an aircraft is flown into a small building as part of a stunt that goes terribly wrong! Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
