Smoke Screen For Ships - And Bombing Raid (1914-1918)

Smoke screen for ships and bombing raid.



Aeroplane and ship work together to blow up an enemy U-boat. Smoke screen for ships- - and bombing raid. Aeroplane flies past; letting out lots of smoke - cool shot. The smoke spreads downward in sort of stripes. Another plane flies past. Pan down a bit; a warship is below on the sea. Aerial shot: a sort of squarish white cloud below; going down to the water. Also dark smoke is coming from it. - Apparently the ship; covered by white smoke. Camouflage. Side view of ship (not hidden ship); something in front of ship in the water blows up. Another explosion.



CU big cloud of smoke coming from a bombed submarine. CU submarine sticking out of water. Same - just end of the U-boat sticking up at angle; w/ the warship in distance; across the water. CU part of sub again - bottom? - as it floats on side. (Also on ON 414 B) shot of the craft blowing up; in which one actually sees the towers collapse etc. ... &2) Same as last shot mentioned above; the end of a bombed sub (?) sticking out of the water-- except this continues to show the tip falling forward and sinking; disappearing into the sea- which is much more dramatic).
