Notes
No dopesheet for this film so details as to location, date, unit, etc are unclear. The runway's width, paving and markings suggest a permanent and well-established airfield or airport. This film appears in JFU 164 'Frontline Newspaper' in which it is suggested the aircraft is delivering copies of 'SEAC', the newspaper of South East Asia Command.
