YANKS BOMB ALL FOES
1--American bombers are shown selecting their targets on the mainland and the nearby islands of Italy. And "flak-torn" bombers make miraculous landings with "all hands safe."
2--The submarine base at Vegesack, Germany gets a baptism of bombs from successive waves of American bombers.
3--The global breadth of Yankee bombing activities is strikingly brought to attention in scenes from New Guinea, where practise bombings of abandoned Japanese shipping attest to American accuracy from the skies.
LEADERS IN NORTH AFRICA
1--In Algiers, Generals DeGaulle, Giraud and Catroux hold open conclave outlining their policies to the legislative body of this French territory.
2--Meantime, Prime Minister Churchill with party, drops in on the Allied Command in conquered Tunisia and goes over final plans for the "Big Push," now developing.
"MEMPHIS BELLE" FLIES HOME
After 25 successful raids over Nazi Europe, the Flying Fortress known as "Memphis Belle" flies the Atlantic for a rendezvous at Washington, D.C. The original crew of ten, and their mascot, will reluctantly leave the de-commissioned ship.
TRUCKS THAT SWIM
Adding to the American magic which is befuddling our unsuspecting foes are the new 2 1/2-ton U. S. Army trucks known as "ducks." With a large pay load, they cruise the roads. On approaching water, they merely nose in, and swim for it. They do everything but fly.
WATER EVERYWHERE--AND TO DRINK
Being marooned in a life-raft for months loses one of its terrors as the U. S. Navy successfully develops a purification process which renders sea water palatable.
COMMANDOS--SOUTH AFRICAN STYLE
The spirited "African Rifles" go through vigorous final training as they race the obstacle course, leap over yawning trenches, and walk tenuous cable bridges with gusto. And for a finale, they worm their way through treacherous barbed wire entanglements.
