    Made by the Walt Disney Company during WWII for the U.S. Navy, ICE FORMATION ON AIRCRAFT was part of a series of films and booklets in the "Aerology Series" produced by the Bureau of Aeronautics Training Division, Navy Department, Washington D.C. for Naval Aviation Cadets. (The film was later re-made after the war, with the graphics updates to reflect more modern aircraft.)
    Each section of the film deals with a type of ice and its ramifications for aircraft. The film features flight patterns during different types of icy weather as well as images that depict ice build up on essential aircraft parts such as the carburetor. The film also provides detailed animations showing the formation of ice and appropriate flight patterns when certain types of ice are encountered.
    The Walt Disney studios produced many similar training films, and portions of training films, for the United States Army and Navy during World War II. Most of these films were not sole productions of Disney, but were collaborations with other entities such as the First Motion Picture Unit (FMPU).

    We are still, after almost 80 years, struggling to find instructional videos/films/industrials that are this clear. I now understand the idea of icing, and why it's best to be prevention minded. Fascinating stuff.

      @@jaylendamari5451 that is an excellent question, that might provide a better understanding of the information about this very specialised topic that can vary between different plane types.... Try looking into the FAA Advisory Circulars, that describe the basics of the modern equipment functions of various types of equipment to mitigate & control situations like this... Maybe the AC-65 series of books can be what you are looking for....Or if you have access to service manuals of a certain type of an aircraft, you might be able to find what you are looking for in ATA chapter, 30- ice & rain protection and ATA chapter 75 - Engine Bleed air... The ATA information will have engineering D&O's of specific types of aircraft... But you would have to have special access to get information like that... I would start on the FAA Advisory Circulars, if I were you...

    It's simultaneously inspiring and harrowing how much we learned about icing since. How little of a hazard ice-bridging is at modern speeds, for example. Or how incredibly dangerous rough ice texture is, even if the volume of it is low.
    (Ice-bridging is the reason the narrator warns against using the boots continuously: the ice could freeze in a long hollow bubble and become unreachable for the boot)

    I iced up over mountainous Valdez Alaska. Being that this was the first time that I had experienced this, I was worried about turning back do the decrease of lift in accomplishing this. About the time that I was running out of ideas, I came across a sucker hole of clear sky. I applied aileron and rudder and quickly descended. Seeing approx two inches of rime ice, I added two knots to my landing speed, and kissed the ground upon landing. If this happens to you, quickly turn back and decrease your altitude if possible.

      Landed there in a Navy C-130T. We were prepared to delay takeoff if icing conditions were present due to the fact that winds forced takeoff in the direction of the mountain, necessitating a sharp 180 degree bank towards open sky.

    One interesting thing about modern turbine engined medium to large airliners, is that many of them use superheated - high velocity 'engine compressor bleed-air' being plumbed into areas where icing is known to be a problem.... Quite often they can overcome icing conditions because of the effectiveness of these de-icing systems. But there are situations that even the best equipment can not overcome severe icing conditions , such as Air France flight 447, when all of the under-powered pitot tube heaters allowed them to ice-up, while over the Atlantic ocean, making it impossible for the pilots or the FMC's to tell how fast the plane was actually traveling through the air...... That is when the pilots of the plane must alter their course and/or planned altitude to get out of these conditions... Most medium to large airliners have the capability to fly around or above conditions like these, but they need to contact ATC to obtain permission to alter their course and altitude, and have enough fuel to safely complete this alternate course... The advent of weather radar and GPS has greatly improved the safety of airliner's flying routes like these... Several flights going overseas will often take a route directly over one of the poles to save over-all distance... This is when I would rather be in a plane with 3 or more engines... More power & reliability to get through conditions like these... The bleed-air de-icing equipment alone, takes quite a bit of engine power to operate by borrowing some of the engine's compressor output to run these systems.... All of these systems are great, but they take a lot of POWER to operate properly.... It is a reason WHY Boeing should continue making 747's for passenger service.. They are the absolute best and safest airliners, ever made...

      @@BrassLock I can't tell you how many times people are trying to sell that idea... The fact of the matter is, the fuel usage is a moot point as compared to what types of routes these twin jets are flying over... Especially the routes over the long oceans.... Nobody has found MH-370 yet, and that was over 8.5 years ago... Somewhere in the Indian Ocean... One engine loss means a lot of things can happen that are very bad... And there have been flights that these planes had very bad engine explosions... Huge 12' diameter fans spinning at high rpm, just clears everything out in it's path , when they go... But You like to save fuel... Nice.. I take the 747, a DC-10 , a A380 , a ship, but not a twin jet, thank you.

      @@BrassLock There were times that it was safe to fly across huge oceans, but now- I tend to feel differently about it. There are issues that these current planes develop, that just did not happen with the planes being built in the past.... This is what concerns me, but the companies buy it, as they can sell it to the customers... Kind of like tobacco products... Even though the doctors know they are carcinogenic, and warn people of this, there are people who still buy these products, KNOWING that they still could activate the cancer cells in their bodies... With the twin-jet ETOPS flights, people would rather risk their lives to save maybe a couple hundred bucks, instead of increasing the chances of getting to & from their destinations safely...
