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. These are all examples of the peaceful uses of the air power that had been created for war. Various new aircraft are also shown, such as an early jet, and a "flying wing".

Le film commence par un historique des promesses non tenues par Hitler, avec ses diverses invasions de territoires et la manière dont les autres pays l'ont laissé faire. En contrepartie de la militarisation à outrance des Allemands, l'effort britannique est montré comme efficace et durable. Cette fois, ils sont prêts et peuvent tenir. La plus grande partie montre les combats de la RAF, expliquant le dispositif qui empêche l'ennemi de prendre le pays au dépourvu et de l'attaquer.

The film begins with an observation aircraft flying over and dropping a box of undeveloped film. Bomber Command develops the film and analyzes the resulting photographs, which are presented for the audience to see. There has been a massive build-up by German forces in the subject area for the past few months. The film shows the planning of the mission, even detailing how the bomber wing chooses munitions for the task. The weather forecast is expected to be good and the pilots are briefed. The crew of "'F' for Freddie", the bomber that is the focal point of the film, suit up and take off. While over Germany, the crew bombs the target, dead on for one bomb but their aircraft is hit by flak from "faceless" anti-aircraft gunners. The radio operator is hit in the leg and Freddie is the last aircraft to return. Mist covers the water, prompting worry at the Command. Meanwhile, Freddie cannot climb after the flak hit. They are not losing altitude but are in a bad situation. Tension builds in the film until finally, 'F for Freddie' lands. No aircraft are lost and the mission is a complete success.
