Imagine a few hundred years from now someone doing their doctoral thesis on these films. Edit: I just gotta say. These kind of training videos speak to me. The instructor's clear, concise voice. Exacting instructions without putting too much on the trainee at once. Emphasis on safety and why it's important. Restating the important information. Good stuff!
Priming the engine prior to start: Unlock the primer by twisting the handle. Pull the handle all the way out. LET IT FILL UP. Then push it fully forward.
What? He did not call the tower to request takeoff clearance? He did call the tower to clear the pattern? or re-entered the pattern? SOP for the time or just film-maker being simplistic?
@@markreeter6227 that actually required more skill than simply landing in normal conditions. Special attack pilots were all trained to take off and land, but judging the velocity, altitude, and speed of their targets often proved faulty. After the initial Okinawa attacks, the IJN started pulling pilots from, what we would term, Primary Flight Schools. Those poor kids hadn't mastered landings yet.

There was a physical Checklist; they're calling out each step in the film. Each step is being dramatized for effect. There was also the "Form 1", the Logbook for each Aircraft. It listed each Flight the Aircraft flew, the Pilot for each flight, any anomalies with the Aircraft on each flight, and if/when it was corrected by the Maintenance/Operations Division.
This has nothing to do with the film, but I am curious about something I notice in these old films whether they be training films, or movies. WHY did (I'm specifically choosing men here) men speak, and sound so different compared with today's speech? There is something about the inflection, pattern, cadence, choice of grammar, tone, that sounds very different than modern American English. Perhaps the recording equipment, mic's, production? I can't be the only person who notices this, and I will admit that I am not very educated. Just some college and not even too much of it. My primary language is Spanish, but my English is perfect California English (No accents if we even have any in Ca), almost as if Spanish had never existed. And yes, my Spanish is better than most people's Spanish but it is far from perfect. At my place of work, I work with the public a lot, and many of our patients only speak spanish and I've been corrected more than once for not pronouncing some words, terms, or phrases correctly. As a kid growing up, I had read voraciously as a kid beginning with books on Wildlife, Marine Wildlife, Dinosaurs, etc and gradually absorbed English. We'd get a pack of M&M's if we did good in English tutoring class in grammar school..So I am quite proud of my English. And while my choice of words and grammar are better than some peoples, and as good as my English is; It is still different than how the instructor, men,or people of the time sounded.
That is a good question. The best answer that I personally can give is that people were taught differently. English classes and spelling classes in school. Sometimes elocution classes. Also, the World Wars involved generations of men and women. The military has it's own language so to speak. To communicate clearly is paramount right along with learning the soldiering. And many of these people wound up teaching the post war kids in schools.

I'm a complete history nerd and I love these types of films. please keep them coming.

Excellent, as always!! Thanks!!

*in the air* "Now I haven't a thing to worry about... except landing!"
“You’re in the smoking car with the men now” ...lol
Need the one on landings. Takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory!
Kamikazes would beg to differ. 😁

@PeriscopeFIlm Please digitize and upload the other videos from the flight training series. Thank you!

"leave for Berlin in the morning" lol
Brilliant film nice thankyou x
For the record. I was Lt. Pip. I walked into a spinning prop. Now I am Lt. Parts.
I really hope this take off video and the landing video were shown on the same day
Off we go....into the wild blue yonder
Can't believe there was no physical checklist for these pilots like there is these days.

Blake was sent to Bombardier school in another video.
Yeah, he was making bomb runs in a wooden chair with 2x4's.
Kamikaze pilots never saw part 2
"that would be bad"
