This World War II training film was used to train gunners on medium bombers such as the B-25. It is fascinating because of the views it gives you of the different types of attacking aircraft. It gives you a fantastic perspective on the angles and silhouettes of the different aircraft as they come in for the kill.
The film appears geared towards the top gunner on North American B-25 Mitchell bombers but gives you an appreciation of what all top gunners saw.
This film was created for the US Army Air Force and the US Navy Air Force.
