Old color shots of rare US Navy aircraft aboard USS Enterprise and around the San Diego area. Filmed for the 1941 movie "Dive Bomber". Scarce aircraft such as the Douglas TBD-1 Devastator, Curtiss SBC-4 Helldiver and the Vought SB2U Vindicator are shown. It was during the filming that the US Navy was changing the paint schemes on aircraft from the colorful pre-war to the overall gray. Several planes were kept in the old patterns while the movie was filmed. Aircraft in the movie were clearly from USS Saratoga (Air Group 3) and from USS Enterprise (Air Group 6)....a very nice view of the Grumman F3F biplane fighter 6-F-4..... The best parts of the movie were just the aircraft shots. Video clips assembled by Greg Clarke.

Clark did a bang up job on this montage. This has been a favorite film of mine since I was a kid....It has yet to be surpassed - and never will be. The only REAL flaw was that tarted up Ryan PT22 that Toomey was ferrying on behalf of the RAF.... "I'd sure hate to have one of those babies on my tail" exclaims one of the pilots.....He'd need only need worry if he were riding on a kite. Curtiz and Flynn hated each other but he could sure coax a good performance out of my favorite bad boy.
this video is in my favorites. when i want patriotic goosebumps, this is the one. brave men. by the way, didn't the pilots manually retract the landing gear?
too bad. ENTERPRISE was not spared from scrapping after the war. it was truly an amazing and historic warship in the whole world during WW II. so sad :(.
