Description
Marines receive training training on aircraft at MCS, Quantico. The instructor uses a model of a F4U to demonstrate a point. A marine manages to control his laughter before filming further instruction by the trainer on navigation. A pilot sits in the cockpit of a SNJ5 training plane before taxiing. Instruction continues as one releases a balloon into the air and studies its path with aerology equipment as pilots-in-training observe.
