Description: Navy Department production for Treasury 6th War loan. "This picture shows how photography is helping the war. Emphasis is given to training photographic crews in use of cameras, how to spread a picture, enemy movements and emplacements, and interpretation and analysis of photographs." "Interest is heightened by a photographic crew which discerns that under the palm trees the crafty Jap is building an airstrip. With such a discovery, the crew sets in motion the fire of our attack." "Bombs hurtle through the air, shells scream toward the Jap, and the airstrip is blasted beyond repair. A film of general interest." Pennsylvania college for women. "Not an informational film but intended to make an average citizen conscious of the importance of photography in the war." Paul Wendt
