Overview

In this government documentary short film for the U.S. Navy, pilot trainees are instructed in the basics of take-off preparation, including the plane captain's inspection and the checklists of notations from prior flights of the same aircraft. Instructor Lt. Taylor gives one trainee a lesson in the aerodynamics of wing construction and how airflow creates lift on the wings when the engine propels it through the air.
