Ano: 1921
Duração: 16 mins
Descrição: Not a finished film but the jumbled remains of one. It consists partly of long sections of subtitle captions without accompanying images, and staged actuality material of two soldiers using a Lewis machine gun in an anti-aircraft role, with aeroplanes flying overhead and apparently crashing. The aeroplanes are all British, and some have only minor damage. The bulk of the film is of repeated animated scenes of the correct alignment of Lewis gun bead sights in order to 'lead' the aircraft correctly when firing.
British training film on the use of the Lewis machine gun in an anti-aircraft rôle, made shortly after the First World War.
