A Finding Aid to Audiovisual Records in the National Archives of the United States Relating to World War II

World War II airplane on carrier deck
Dynamic static. The motion of its props causes an "aura" to form around this F6F on U.S.S. Yorktown. Rapid changes of pressure and drop in temperature create condensation. Rotating with blades, halo moves aft, giving depth and perspective. November 1943. Navy, 80-G-204747A.

    This Web version, originally created in 1999 and periodically updated, may differ from the paper edition. Possible differences include: updated names of NARA organizational units, corrected errors of fact, and incorporation of new descriptive information. Whenever new descriptive information has been added, it has been coded to display between brackets [] and in italics. In addition, the main text has been artificially split into four parts, by record group, to improve efficiency of storage, retrieval, and use.
