[Footage taken during flights over Japan and Shemya Island (Alaska), circa 1930s-1940s]

Film footage taken during flights over Japan and Shemya Island (Alaska), circa 1930s-1940s. The footage begins with aerial views filmed from an unidentified aircraft, showing houses, streets, and a shoreline; presumably these shots are of Kobe and Osaka, as noted on the film container label. The next segment, starting at 00:00:40, depicts a shoreline and runway, filmed from inside an aircraft as it taxis and takes off. This is followed by aerial views of a shoreline, likely Shemya Island. No exterior shots of the aircraft are present in the footage.

The footage is in color and is silent.

Label on film container: "Kobe, Japan - Bobed Osaka - Shemya."
