Summary: Captured German film showing demonstration of aircraft Arado-234, rocket assisted. Shows parachute recovery of rocket units, parachute recovery of droppable landing gear, method of attaching landing gear to plane, testing of skid-type landing gear, views of interior and of fuel and electrical systems. Shows also aircraft Arado-232, twin-engine German transport, test dropping landing gear
Reel 2 -- 1) PS Arado-234 taxiing out using droppable landing gear. 2) MS full FV, Arado-234 stationary, rocket unit attached to wing -- plane equipped with droppable landing gear. 3) PS nose section showing pilot sitting in plane, canopy raised. 4) PS from nose to jet engine showing interior of engine, side panels open disclosing feel lines and electrical circuits of the engine. 5) PS nose to tail section of the AR-234 stationary. 6) ECU bombardier's section in nose. 7) ECU looking down into bombardier's section of the aircraft. 8) ECU of pilot's control compartment, instrument panel, and steering apparatus. 9) ECU of droppable landing gear used on the AR-234 -- scene also includes skid bars -- mounted beneath the engine nacelle for skid landing. 10) CU of droppable landing gear attachment, parachute attached to same. 11) ECU of the parachute unit and container and attachment to the landing gear. 12) PS from forward wheel of the droppable landing gear -- scene includes skid bar unit attached to belly of the plane. 13) MGU of the skid bar belly unit. 14) PS AR-232 testing the landing-gear used on the AR-234. 15) PS good shot of the AR-232 twin-engine, twin-rudder German transport aircraft, caterpillar type landing gear beneath fuselage, support wheels mounted beneath the wings. 16) PS AR-232 towing the droppable landing gear; testing same at German airfield showing chute blossoming out and stopping the landing gear during test. 17) MS FSV, AR-234 stationary showing large wing backs attached beneath the wing and tall section of the plane to raise the AR -234 in-to position for attaching droppable landing gear to the plane. 18) MS FSV, German civilian and Army personnel attaching the unit to the underside of the plane. 19) PS taxi testing the droppable landing gear on the- AR-234. 20) PS AR-234 take off showing landing gear dropping off at moment of take off -- parachute stops landing gear on runway. 21) PS landing gear going up runway, chute torn and collapsed. 22) PS AR-234 take off-using droppable landing gear, chute opens stopping the landing gear, plane continues on in flight. 23) PS droppable landing gear rolling across airfield, doughnut type parachute trailing behind. 24) PS AR-234 passing overhead. 25) PS AR-234 landing on grassy area using the skid-type landing gear. 26) PS AR-234 taking off using droppable landing gear, chute opens stopping gear -- plane continues on in flight. 27) PS AR-234 fly by, in bg another unidentifiable German Jet aircraft dives through scene. 28) PS AR-234 landing using the skid-type landing gear. 29) PS AR-234 take off, rocket assisted, using droppable landing gear -- gear drops off at moment of take off, chute opens stopping gear. Excellent shot, head on view, AR-234 rocket assisted take off, plane passes directly over camera. 30)PS SV AR-234 take off, rocket assisted, skid-typed landing gear on plane. 31) PS AR-234 passing overhead dropping rocket units from plane by means of parachute, camera follows rocket unit to ground. 32) PS AR-234 passing overhead. 33) LS looking down across airfield at AR-234 landing using skid-type landing gear -- plane rocks back and forth safe from crash by means of the skids attached to under side of jet engine nacelle. 34) LS looking across airfield at AR-23 n flight, while smoke trailing behind plane; plane -- seems to be making crash landing in far bg in back of small building. 35)PS AR-234 take off using droppable landing gears -- plane takes off, landing gear drops away and starts to tumble end on end -- chute wrapping self around landing gear.
