A Trip Down Market Street (High Res)Miles Brothers [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Click on the picture to see the 8+ minute film. San Francisco in 1906 just before the great earthquake and fire. A lot more automobiles than I expected and a lot fewer billboards.

Has greater effect watching when listening to this tune (where I first see this footage).

Posting this for several reasons. Historically interesting but little exposed campaign. And most-WWII history TV-shows tend to feature the same movie clips over and over again, always in false and wrong context, wrong battle, wrong time, wrong campaign, wrong ships, wrong planes, wrong vehicles, wrong geography, never corresponding to what the narrator is speaking about. For someone who is very well educated on the WWII, that is quite annoying. This video is not. The movie clips are actually from the occasion. They're also interesting because they show how the B-25 was used at low level, and why many B-25s and B-26s were fitted with so many forward facing .50 guns. Then there's the airborne operation.

Most people are aware of the U.S. army's parachuting operations in the European theater in WW2, but that's not the only theater in which they occurred. In '45 there was a paradrop on the Japanese held Corregidor island in the Philipines, which was previously the site of a last stand by American and Phillipine troops during the Japanese invasion back in '42. The U.S. paratroopers jumped at a low altitude of 500 feet, which prevented the use of reserve parachutes, which lead to the deaths of 12 soldiers due to parachute failings and hard landings.
