Oh yeah... That's great stuff... Bob Hope wrote in his book about running into Burgess Meredith making the film and they did the bit.

Dive Bomber training is an informative film. Last night I watched "First Leave" and "German Infantry Arms..

and one of my favorites is the shot down pilot in the pacific training film.. "So you was ok Dave, until to some hot Jap pilot got on your tail and now your in the drink."

How to behave in Britain:
-Smile and wave for the Brass and cameras while walking down the gangplank.
-Head straight to the pub.
-Go kill some Krauts.
