Something that has always intrigued me is the aircraft carrier. This idea that there are floating airports, potentially out in the middle of nowhere, just really gets me going. What’s even more crazy, is that the aviators manage to find these small boats and land on them.
I recently came across a movie on Archive.org that I found really interesting. It is apparently the most expensive film the US Navy has ever produced. It can be found and downloaded here: http://www.archive.org/details/HookDownWheelsDown or you can watch the embedded video below.
