Video description

At a United States Army school in flexible gunnery sharp shooters learn to use aerial machine guns. Training their fire upon small discs hurled by a machine into the air. From a gun turret of a model bomber they shoot from every position. Trying to hit the tiny moving targets is the best training possible. When they pass this test they're real flying sharp shooters. Honored graduate of such a school is a man known to cinema fans the world over, Clark Gable. Refusing a higher rank he volunteered as a private and worked his way up. Now he's awarded the silver wings of an aerial gunner, a First Lieutenant in the Army Air Force. Clark Gable, movie star, playing his greatest role. Manning a fifty caliber gun he will soon be in action against the enemy.
