  • Infos

Special Delivery was a short 1946 propaganda film produced by the United States Army Air Forces about Operation Crossroads, when Bikini atoll was, in 1946, evacuated to be the subject of two (three planned) atomic bomb tests on a large assembled fleet.

Synopsis

The film begins with shots of American bombers flying in formation and the narrator giving the audience a dictionary definition of a "special delivery" and the vital role that air power played in winning the late conflict. He goes on to say that the Air Force can have constructive, as well as destructive uses—several examples are shown of this, including the dropping of food and supplies to remote areas, using B-17s to get serum to Alaska and B-25s to deploy DDT, and using helicopters to rescue the wounded.

As the Second World War continues, the Canadian contribution to the Allied bombing campaign over occupied Europe requires more aviators. The government responds by creating the Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division in 1941. By 1943, 9,000 recruits, women from all backgrounds, are taking over a wide range of jobs. Women in the RCAF, or WDs as they were called, were clerks, drivers, photographers, air photo interpreters, weather observers, instrument mechanics, parachute riggers as well as many administrative and technical positions in the RCAF. While most WDs were located at British Commonwealth Air Training Plan stations across Canada, many others served overseas with RCAF Overseas Headquarters and
