    Thanks to PERISCOPE so much for their awesome preservation efforts. It's so interesting to watch these videos for people interested in history, and it is easy to forget the efforts required to digitize these videos so they don't fall to pieces unseen.

    So the flight instructor shown is the actor Robert Taylor. He was a major leading man at MGM thru the late 30s and into the early 40s. Played opposite Greta Garbo and Viven Leigh in a couple of films. He joined the US Navy as a flight instructor in 1943 and served both as an instructor and in number of US Navy training films produced for the aviation side. He is also the narrator of the famous documentary "The Fighting Lady" about the USS Yorktown. He was discharged from the Navy in November of 1945. Taylor would return to Hollywood playing various roles both on the movie screen and TV tube until his death in 1969 from lung cancer at the age of 57.
    According to various oral histories of the Naval Aviation training orgs Taylor was assigned to, he would play down his movie stardom to all new cadets and drill into them the vitals of learning their jobs while in the training pipeline. He was social and friendly to all other instructors as well.

      I love him in the movies! To me it is so impressive that guys like him and Jimmy Stewart, Robert Montgomery even Clark Gable took time off from making movies to serve our great nation.

    Be nice if this was cleaned up in the audio and visual dept. A great historical value.

    Don’t stall with out adequate altitude for recovery.
    It could be your last mistake.

    Wow. I'm not a licensed pilot, but everything this guy said is so credible! This would be a great film for any aspiring pilot to watch!
