I do not know what or who this film was produced for, I suppose it was just something G.E. made to show to potential military customers?

Print quality was pretty poor, I did what I could to improve it. Color had a blue-shift and contrast was lost in places. Certain scenes were also extremely grainy, did what I could to help reduce it for Youtube. Film had a lot of pitting & scratching as well.
