VIET COPTERS
Army helicopters, the rail northerners in the jungle warfare in Vietnam, are used for a variety of combat and non-military use. The 120th Aviation Company, "The Deans," demonstrates aerial photography...troop transport, and combat support missions by "choppers."
NEW HELICOPTER
A new rigid-rotor helicopter is at Palm Springs, California. Unlike other "choppers," it can roll, loop, fly upside down. Its designers state it could even outmaneuver a fighter plane in a dogfight. Its stability makes it a perfect airborne gun or rocket platform.

ERNIE TERRELL
Challenger Ernie Terrell works out in training for his upcoming heavyweight championship fight with titleholder Cassius Clay. He won an argument over unequal poster billing by threatening to walk out on the bout. Meanwhile, Clay still could be drafted, he's I-A.
OTTER
At Shubenacadie Wildlife Park near Halifax, Nova Scotia, kids enjoy some sixty acres of animals in their natural habitat. Among the stars is "Lottie," a 1-year-old American River Otter. She tussles with dogs, and takes her daily walk, run, swim...and snow slide!

Giant ships of the U. S. Fifth Fleet--immense new battleships and huge aircraft carriers--plunge through very heavy seas to be in position for the air assault on the Ryukyu Islands, less than 350 miles from Japan proper.
The carrier planes take off and soon they are destroying vital airstrips on Okinawa, ships in harbors and other targets. Missions accomplished, they return to their flat tops to find a furious battle going on between the fleet and swarms of Jap planes. Exceedingly accurate anti-aircraft fire sends a succession of Jap planes spinning into the sea.

INVASION--BY THE ALLIED AIRBORNE ARMY
When the entire Rhine front explodes into action the First Allied Airborne Army takes flight for the Westphalian plains. From an observation post Gen. Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill watch the sky trains roar by overhead.
The drop area reached, thousands of chutes float to the ground from twin side-door C-46 carriers, while giant C-47 tow planes release their gliders. Despite damaging resistance the gliders land with their jeeps and other materiel.
Shortly, Nazi troops are marched in as captives, and this airborne invasion becomes one of the most successful in the history of warfare.
CAPTURE OF COBLENZ
With tanks leading the way, units of Gen. Patton's U. S. 3rd Army advance on Coblenz, the thousand-year-old transportation center. Repeated air bombings and heavy artillery fire have reduced the city to ruins, from which the Nazis offer scattered resistance.
Tom Priestley, Universal cameraman, covers the entire action. Soldier dead litter the ground. A loud speaker is used to demand and direct surrender and several thousand Nazi prisoners are collared. White flags flutter from the few remaining ancient homes. Ancient Ehrenbrightstein Castle, used by the Germans as a fortress, is a battered pile of ruins. American tanks rumble through the narrow streets, and head eastward, deeper into Germany.
101ST AIRBORNE CITED
In a stirring speech, Gen. Eisenhower awards the Presidential Citation to the famous 101st Airborne Division for its heroic defense of Bastogne. Steel-helmeted Marlene Dietrich joins the entire reviewing party in saluting the 101st.
MYSTERY 6 MOTOR SHIP
Secretly built during Nazi occupation, a gigantic 6 motor French flying boat is now unveiled. It takes off and flies as gracefully as anything in the air.
FLAIL TANKS
The Canadian First Army uses huge tanks with heavy rotating chain beaters in front of them which explode any and all buried Nazi road mines.

THE INVASION OF OKINAWA
Conferences at Guam ended, Pacific Fleet Commander, Admiral Nimitz sends an armada of 1,400 vessels to Okinawa in the Ryukus. En route, the men of the new U. S. 10th Army stage their own deck entertainment, and secure their issue of invasion money.
Land sighted, the big guns of the fleet bark into action, and tons of rockets are sped shoreward. Landing craft race in, and unopposed landings are made. Inland, Jap dugouts and pill boxes are destroyed with grenades. Past broken forts, natives climb down from the hills, the Stars and Stripes are run up, and the Yanks prepare for their campaign on Okinawa--360 miles from Japan itself.
ADVANCING WITH THE U.S. 3RD ARMY
From hill positions, the Yanks are confronted with blistering fire from the Nazis in the valley below. When Yankee tanks, tank destroyers, and machine guns silence the enemy, the U.S. 3rd continues its victory advance, rolling by miles of burning and wrecked Nazi equipment. And a flood of Nazi prisoners streams to a collecting yard.
